The Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV), founded in 1891, houses a magnificent collection of medieval art with paintings and sculpture from the Catalan Romanesque and Gothic periods. The collections of precious metals, textiles, wrought ironwork, glass and ceramics offer a comprehensive journey through the history of liturgical and decorative art in Catalonia. This highly prized collection, including over 29,000 pieces, is exhibited in a new building on a site adjoining the cathedral, equipped with state-of-the-art exhibition facilities. Due to the exceptional interest of the museum's collections, in 2001 the museum was declared a museum of national interest by the Government of Catalonia.

This museum was probably the best thing we saw on our entire three week trip. First we viewed an excellent collection of early ivories and then the section with all the medieval art. It is in such good condition! There are painted panels, sculptures, and even a wooden deposition group! We used the audio tour but the further you get away from the main desk the more difficult it is to get reception. The person staffing the front desk was very helpful and added to our excellent opinion of the museum.

The Roman Temple is remarkable in that It was built in the 1st Century A.D.!! The Temple is the only surviving building of the city of Auso, as Vic was called in Roman times, and gives us today an historic reconstructions of how the temple would have looked.

It is the third visit to Vic in a period of four months. Our last visit was today and this time we were just today. We didn't know before hand there is was a Mercado Medieval event in the town. It was a really different event worth to see. It was a week day but everybody were in the streets enjoying themselves. Local artisans were trying to market their products and people. People in medieval cloths werechanting and dancing in the Vic street. Major square was worth to see. It is probably one of the best time to visit Vic.
