Museu Episcopal de Vic, Medieval art museum in Vic, Spain
The Episcopal Museum of Vic exhibits religious artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and textiles spanning from prehistoric times through the 19th century in a 6,700 square meter space.
Founded in 1891 by Bishop Josep Morgades, the museum originated from an archaeological society's lapidary collection following the discovery of Vic's Roman temple.
The museum holds substantial collections of Romanesque and Gothic art, including notable works by Bernat Martorell and the alabaster altarpiece from Sant Joan de les Abadesses monastery.
Located next to Vic Cathedral, the museum provides guided tours, educational programs, and maintains regular exhibitions across three floors of medieval and decorative arts.
The museum received the National Cultural Heritage Award in 2006, recognizing its role in preserving Catalan ecclesiastical art through centuries of religious history.
