Museo Diocesano de Barcelona, Diocesan museum in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Museo Diocesano houses a collection of religious art including paintings, sculptures, textiles, and liturgical objects from medieval times to present day.
The museum opened its doors on October 22, 1916, on the ground floor of the Conciliar Seminary before moving to Casa de l'Almoina in 1989.
The collections demonstrate the evolution of religious art in Catalonia, featuring pieces that represent both Roman and Gothic artistic influences in the region.
Located near Barcelona Cathedral, the museum provides guided tours and educational programs about religious art and local ecclesiastical history.
The institution emerged from a 1913 Christian Art Congress, when Bishop Enric Reig collected over 600 religious works from regional parishes within one year.
