Catalan paintings at their origin (and their best)
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.

Very interesting museum from pre-Roman to Middle Ages times
Museo Episcopal de Vic is the main museum in the town, located near Cathedral, in the town, Vic, in the center of Catalonia. Here you can see a lot of artworks from pre-Roman times to Middle Ages. Really a very interesting place, especially Romanesque Artworks, where you can see all paintings of some little churches. Also, here you can learn a lot about them. (see also Plaça Major, Restaurant Nomad, Café&Restaurant la Placa, Monument a l'Abad Oliba a Vic, Museu de l'Art de la Pell, Oficina de Turismo de Vic, Museo Episcopal de Vic and Catedral de Sant Pere de Vic)

Great museum
It's a must visit for medieval art lovers, amateurs, aficionados... The huge collection they hold it's simply astonishing. Even if you are not really into the subject, the buiding and the visiting space, are worth paying the ticket. 100% recomended.
