Museu d'Art de Girona Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: A magnificent museum.. The rooms are spacious and the artworks are well highlighted. Everything is well lit and well staged, the price is affordable!! And the staff is lovely!! A lovely moment!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Small, but very well ORGANIZED, the Girona Art Museum is located right behind the Cathedral. Inside, it houses numerous and interesting artifacts, objects, statues, and frescoes of notable interest, with particular attention to those from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, that is, the years of greatest artistic (and also economic) fervor of medieval Girona. There is the possibility of a combined ticket with the cathedral and basilica. Closed on Mondays and reduced hours on Sundays and holidays.

Positive experience: The pottery in the museum was absolutely my favorite part. Otherwise it’s very heavily religious and a bit overwhelming in that regard. The building itself is lovely and the staff was very kind. I would love to see some newer works by younger artists from the region, one of the paintings had been hanging there since 1865, it was a lovely painting, but there’s so much out there that could be placed in that beautiful space for a while.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful museum. Welcoming staff.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: A magnificent space...in a privileged location. It is always worth a visit.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: AMAZING PLACE!!!! The staff is amazing and polite and the man at the front desk was so amazing and kind, he gifted the children some pencils, some museum pictures, a calendar. Inside the museum the art is breathtaking. I was in awe for the whole 2 hours I visited. A place you truly have to see !!!

Fantastic experience: Against the cathedral, an art museum having, among other things, a beautiful collection of paintings by painters from Northern Europe... (Spain in Flanders). Very beautiful paintings that can be admired in peace... There was no one... A great happiness if you love painting... There are also beautiful religious sculptures.
Translated from French

Positive experience: Very entertaining and curious. Many cool virgins and columns. Many paintings impress, I recommend it
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Not a large gallery but packed full of fascinating religious carvings etc. The top floor had some 20th century stuff! You have to climb MANY steps to reach it, although there is a lift for the last set of outside steps and inside. I enjoyed my visit.

Positive experience: Not so interesting for this price. Mainly has a church theme.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful museum with a focus on ecclesiastical artworks.
Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: It’s not a very large museum, but it has a rather interesting selection of exhibits. Combined with properly installed and adjusted lighting, it achieves a nice positive effect.

Positive experience: Lots to see. Very old sizes from different eras. It has many rooms and you have to climb like 4 or 5 floors. By the way, the elevator wasn't working. For people with disabilities, how do they do it? Very hot. There was even a moment when I felt dizzy due to the heat and having to climb so many stairs. They have a room to sit with a coffee machine, 60 cents, cheap! And in it, display cases with shirts from the Girona football team, I think. What does this mean? Friendly staff at the entrance. There were many sinks with disinfectant, and none of them worked.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Next to the cathedral. It is worth spending a considerable amount of time to see in detail all the exhibited works. Combined ticket Girona Episcopal Visit three iconic buildings in the city of Girona: the basilica of Sant Feliu, the cathedral, and the former Episcopal Palace, now the Girona Art Museum. Discover a unique historical and artistic ensemble in Catalonia.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Nice collection relative to the admission cost. Was hoping for air conditioning as museums usually offer a respite on hot days.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: With great curiosity, I observed the collections gathered in the museum, especially the exhibits from the Middle Ages. They are amazing. In the painting collection, I found an interesting piece by Salvador Dalí. The visit to some spaces is accompanied by atmospheric music, which creates a specific aura and enhances the aesthetic experiences.
Translated from Polish

Fantastic experience: They let me borrow a wheelchair for my mother. Pretty good collection of art.

Fantastic experience: We have loved this artistic experience. Congratulations to the Museum. We have also enjoyed the kindness of the reception staff and the explanations about art that Mr. Pere provided us with concerning some doubts we had. Thank you very much!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The museum is close to the cathedral, it is very spacious with several floors and many works of art on display. I fell in love with several works of art, we really loved the video that tells you about the history of the altarpiece. It has an elevator ☺️
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Often overlooked, the first remarkable piece of the Art Museum is its very own continent: the building that for many years was the Episcopal palace of the city. Supported by a millennia-old history, the first reference we have to the Palace dates back to the year 988, when Bishop Gotmar III bought a house from Count Borrell, which would be located in the current northern area of the palace. It is not, however, until the year 1167, at the death of Bishop William of Peratallada, that it is recorded in the cathedral's obituary that 'he built the palace'. Surely this bishop had taken advantage of and expanded the old house. Throughout the 13th century, the complex was enlarged following the tastes of the time and took on the appearance of a castle, becoming the first Gothic construction in Girona. During these years, the two towers were built (the one on the west facade and the one for the prison), the Throne Room, which connected the two towers (where the altarpiece of Púbol and that of Cruïlles are currently displayed), and the Hall of the Arch (where the retable of Segueró by Pere Mates can presently be admired). Even today, all these dependencies can be observed during a visit to the collection. During the 15th and 16th centuries, work and expansions of the palace continued, with Bishops Boil and Margarit, and it was between 1500 and 1600 when the building transitioned from castle to palace, with the opening of windows that let in light. It was also in these years that the expansion linking the new wing with the oldest part was carried out, covering from the square of Lledoners to the arch that leads to the current turn that gives access to the museum's entrance courtyard. Thus, the current Gothic room of the museum had been the former dining room of the bishop. Prior to this work, we can see the southern wall of the Throne Room, from where a few Renaissance-style windows that Margarit himself had made to open are still visible.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Magnificent museum. Great religious-themed arts. Some characteristics from the 11th century onwards. The most striking is a tapestry with incredible details and full of interpretations. I bought the ticket in a package that includes entry to both waterfalls in the city, which also has a lot to offer. It is worth it. Just be aware that there are many stairs and climbs, but that is throughout Girona. Try to do these tours in the morning to enjoy the rest of the walled city in the afternoon and evening.

Fantastic experience: It's a place I like to return to. It's divided by eras and on the top floor they have very interesting temporary exhibitions.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I loved it! It's very large and you should spend at least an hour.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Impeccable staff attention. The museum is primarily religious and very well organized, although we expected broader temporary exhibitions (on current topics).
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience at Gerona Museum of Arts, the atmosphere inside and out and five floors of history that are well worth the tour.

Fantastic experience: One of the best museums in the Province. Large and extensive, with the third largest collection of Romanesque and Gothic art in Catalonia. It has Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Modern art. Highly recommended, it is well worth the price.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful museum, the collection of Romanesque figures and capitals is of unprecedented beauty. In addition to this, you can see medieval and Renaissance tabulars and pictures, particularly the altarpiece of St. Feliu.

Positive experience: This museum is one of the 6 that you can visit with a 50% discount with the M6 card or Girona museums. The museum is beautiful and has many well-preserved and cared-for works of Romanesque art. You can find everything from Romanesque works to contemporary ones (which are the least). The room I liked the most is the one that shows you the case of Pere Mates and the analyses that were done to assess whether some duplicated works were copies or originals, a case that remains open to this day.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice museum. Worth a visit. Important sacred art.

Fantastic experience: It is always recommended. But now there is an exhibition of Informalism artists in Catalonia that cannot be missed.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Despite its good organization and how well-preserved it is, almost all the artwork found is religious, and there is very little outside of that. For being the museum of the city, I think there should be more variety.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A non-crowded museum where you can enjoy medieval pieces and the temporary exhibitions they offer
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: An excellent and extensive collection of Romanesque, Gothic, and religious art. It is also complemented by modern artworks from Catalonia.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: If you are passionate about art and have time, you should come to visit it... more religious art... you can buy an access that allows you to visit the museum and other tourist attractions in the old town area.

Fantastic experience: Very good permanent collection and very good distribution in the evolution. And furthermore, the facilities are very beautiful.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Fantastic museum in the old town of Girona, located next to the cathedral. A visit you can't miss if you like art and our origins.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful art museum in a medieval palace.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: It's an interesting and beautiful museum
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very vast and unique art museum! Which displays marvellous pieces of the history of Girona from Romanesque all the way to Renaissance style. The audio guide really helped us focus on the little details of the statues and paintings so we could appreciate it more! Luckily, it was all in English. We would highly recommend playing all the recordings at the main entrance (WiFi works only there) so that you can hear them while walking around each room!

Fantastic experience: What to say about this wonderful museum...? The best thing is to take a few hours and, with the help of the audio guide, visit it. There are many paintings and sculptures, artifacts, and manuscripts to admire. The exhibition is very well designed and, from room to room, the audio guide helps us discover what the artists have left us as heritage. A heritage of immeasurable value that, if well preserved, as happens in this museum, will be an important piece of culture available to humanity.
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: Wonderful collection. If you go in the morning you will have the artworks for yourself. Lovely experience.

Fantastic experience: For all those interested in learning about the evolution of the artistic culture of Girona and its region. A must-visit. Really endearing staff.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Works of great historical and artistic importance. Most from the 12th to 16th centuries. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The museum has an impressive permanent exhibition of religious decoration. The temporary exhibition about Costa Brava is very interesting.

Fantastic experience: Temporary exhibition about the Costa Brava, together with that of Empordà. Well organized, excellent paintings, photographs, and documentation. The same goes for the catalog.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Excellent permanent collection of artistic styles, with a qualitative predominance of Romanesque and Gothic... They also hold temporary exhibitions..., like the one ending on September 11, about the 'discovery of the Costa Brava...'
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Excellent collection of medieval art.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It definitely worth a visit. A lot of romanic and gothic masterpieces. The picture I'm posting is kind of a 3D artwork, a sculpture composed to be hung as a picture, I think it's XVI century maybe? There is a funny museum note, about this Saint Sebastian.

Positive experience: Well-maintained and structured museum. The downside is that I don't understand how residents cannot enter for free.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I visited it for the exhibition 'Costa Brava. The discovery of paradise'. Highly recommend visiting the museum. Located in the building of the Episcopal Palace of Girona, next to the cathedral. In the museum, one can view the Girona art chronologically through successive periods and styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Realism, Modernism, and Noucentisme. There are also monographic rooms dedicated to ceramics, glass, and art specific to Catholic liturgy, as well as temporary exhibition rooms. The main collections are medieval, featuring the Portable Altar of Saint Peter of Rodes. Also spectacular, to end the visit at the Hall of Tinell and the basilica of Santa Ágata, very minimalist and of Gothic style. There is elevator access, but there are stairs along the route.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: This museum was a very pleasant surprise!!! The building is beautiful and filled with beautiful treasures.

Positive experience: Un museu molt xulo. Les obres són molt interessants i es pot aprofitar l'entrada per veure expos noves i ajuntar també la visita a la catedral.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A place that can be visited, it has several rooms and in general very good, the staff's attention and information are correct, regards
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: There is an interesting collection of Catalan art throughout history. I would recommend it, especially if you enjoy seeing decorative art. I enjoyed the visit overall, but one thing kind of soured our experience: there was a rude security guard who actually YELLED at my family when we tried to enter through the direction that we were directed towards by the staff who checked our ticket! We later saw other people enter in that same direction, so I still don't understand why he did that.

Fantastic experience: As part of your ticket purchase for the Girona Cathedral, entry to the Girona Museum of Art is included. Most of the art exhibits are of Cataluña's pre-renaissance art. The exhibits are well organized, and many works are incredibly beautiful. I suggest you take the audio guide as the exhibits make more sense. We enjoyed the visit.

Fantastic experience: Primer diumenge de mes i gratuït. És un Museu que m'encanta i que repeteixo quan puc. En aquest cas hem anat a veure una exposició temporal sobre la Costa Brava.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The museum is nothing special, only Catalan artists and history. The only reason we visited is that if you buy a ticket for the Girona Cathedral, they force you to buy a combined ticket at the museum office.

Fantastic experience: Excellent how the place is set up, it has a free audio guide. The person who attends to you at the entrance is very attentive.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is very worth it. For us, a must-visit.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The Girona Art Museum offers an extensive journey through Catalan art, mostly from the Girona regions. A walk of nearly 1,000 years of art with exceptional works from the Romanesque period to the present day, set in a unique architectural environment filled with history, the former Episcopal Palace of the city.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The building has been active since the 17th century, in the Baroque period, and is situated over an old medieval neighborhood of which archaeological remains and heritage elements are preserved. Gorgeous paintings on fabrics, wood engravings, spectacular colors!... Majestic paintings. I recommend it 100%... and the reception girls are very attentive, very friendly the people who work there, excellent service.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The Girona Art Museum is a must-visit place for art and history lovers. Located in a historic building in the city center, this museum houses an impressive collection of art that spans from the Romanesque period to the 20th century. Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, decorative objects, and much more. Moreover, the building itself is a work of art, with a beautiful façade and impressive architectural details. In summary, the Girona Art Museum is an obligatory stop for those seeking an enriching cultural experience in the city. 100% recommended!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: beautifully done and there is an audio guide, but as an individual you get lost a bit

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend visiting this museum, wonderful!! The audio guide is brilliantly made. Congratulations!!!
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: Very interesting museum, well made audio guide available in English but not in Italian.
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: Great collection

Positive experience: Nice museum, art mainly limited to Prerenaissance. Be sure to request the discount pass for the other museums in Girona.

Fantastic experience: On Friday, we were able to visit this fantastic museum, there are many works, it is located inside a palace, it is spectacular. While walking around the cathedral area, you can go. We loved it.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: M’ha agradat molt la meva visita al museu. Ho tenen tot molt ben cuidat i tot el que veus és molt interessant. És una visita obligada si estàs per la ciutat de Girona.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We entered without knowing much and to be honest, we were surprised by the quality of the exhibited works. When we left, I wanted to buy a catalog of the museum but unfortunately, they didn't have any, although this is something common nowadays in many museums. 100% recommended visit if you pass through Girona and like museums.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The Girona Art Museum is located in the ancient cathedral palace of the city, showcasing the art of Girona from Roman times to the 20th century. The Girona Art Museum was established in 1976, in the old building of the iconic Episcopal Palace, adjacent to the cathedral, becoming the site of provincial collection of artifacts and the Diocesan Museum. Its collection brings together valuable artistic expressions, showcasing the art of the Girona region and the Romanesque and Gothic art, constituting the third most important collection of Romanesque and Gothic art in Catalonia. The most famous artworks include Sant Pere de Rodes (10th to 11th centuries) in a portable selection, the majesty of Cruïlles and Sant Joan les Fonts (12th century), the Cruïlles beam (approximately 13th century), a rich collection of Gothic altarpiece paintings (15th century), with key works by Lluís Borrassà and Bernat Martorell, or the 20th-century painting room, with works by Joaquim Vayreda and Santiago Russiñol.
Translated from Chinese

Fantastic experience: Authentically exceptional. The collections of Romanesque and Gothic art are among the best we can find in Catalonia (and there is a lot). Shortly after entering, we encounter two of the few Romanesque Majesties that are preserved: that of Cruïlles and that of Sant Joan les Fonts. The collection of Virgin sculptures (most of which are transitional) is numerous. The listing of all the content would be extensive. I repeat: exceptional.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The guided tour of the Feminal was a very pleasant and enriching experience. While we waited for the tour to start, we enjoyed the museum's rooms, which are impressive. I recommend visiting the whole space, and if you can take advantage of the guided tour of the Feminal, you will really enjoy it.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Small and repetitive museum with a small variety of works available to see. A barely passable place to kill time.

Fantastic experience: A very well-designed museum with quite interesting works.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A must-visit museum of the Girona regions. Good temporary exhibitions. They offer discounts to different groups.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful museum for those who love religious art. The temporary exhibition on female painters from the early 20th century is also very interesting. A must-see.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: It preserves a rich heritage of religious images, altarpieces, capitals, and pieces of goldsmithing. Today it inaugurated a magnificent exhibition of female artists from the early 20th century. Women forgotten in the history of art. All worth seeing.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Insightful museum about the history and developments of religion and art in Girona and fringes of the Catalunya region. I've learnt immensely about the history and art pieces of San Felix by the likes of Juan de Burgunya and the masters before him. Highly recommend this place for an eye-opening and enriching experience.

Fantastic experience: Great museum in what used to be the Episcopal Palace with paintings, carvings, sculptures, altarpieces, etc., which constitute one of the best collections of Catalan art, ranging from Romanesque to the present day, all very well indicated and explained. In one of its rooms is the famous Lleona, the authentic one, dating from the 11th or 12th century.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Incredible museum! You can learn a lot of things there and there are 4 languages available: French, English, Spanish, and Catalan. I recommend it, although it is a bit long, so it is not suitable for children under 11/12 years old.
Translated from French

Positive experience: The museum has a collection that is more than remarkable, but in summer it is not pleasant to visit since they do not have air conditioning... too hot to enjoy the pieces :(
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to return to their rooms
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Good collection of works from different eras.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: An interesting visit.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Great art in a great building, much of it on a religious theme. Inspiring stuff, well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, this is a wonderful museum. First, obviously, for its collections. I was greatly impressed by its numerous and exquisite Romanesque and Gothic carvings, and I also appreciate the opportunity to admire and learn about the work of great local artists whose names I did not even know, as they made their careers far from where the genius's accolades are distributed. And second, I also greatly appreciated the museological quality of the space: well-lit artworks, dated and adequately separated to enhance their contemplation. And I did not fail to appreciate that, within the museum, there was a resting area with armchairs, facilities, and a drinks machine, where the weary tourist could rest their feet for a moment. 'I would have also appreciated if the explanatory labels for all the works were, at least, in the two official languages of the community, but well...!'
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: One of the best museums in Girona. Besides the interest that the Episcopal Palace itself presents, the collection is excellent, especially the pieces of sacred art. It is ideal to take advantage of the free Sunday of each month.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Good for learning about ancient history
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Romanesque and Gothic...
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It's a nice building and the content is good. Adult tickets cost €6.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Splendid exhibition of religious art from which I would highlight the Romanesque sculptures, the Gothic altarpieces, and the educational room where the manufacturing process of stained glass windows is shown.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A special place. And the attention from the director was magnificent. Just like his recommendations. A thousand thanks. We will return.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent selection ranging from Romanesque to the 20th century. I find particularly significant: numerous late Gothic and Renaissance altarpieces that can be admired in full and up close; many paintings that made up the Renaissance altarpiece of San Feliu; several beautiful works by Catalan artists from the 19th century (Modest Urgell, Santiago Rusiñol...). Also very good are the temporary collections (in December 2021, two collections dedicated to interesting 20th-century artists: Celso Lagar and Hortense Bégué, and Palau Ferré).
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great, very friendly staff. Good exhibitions.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very interesting museum, well organized, with an elevator for the different floors and for the entrance, with a shop, bathrooms, and a coffee machine.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Museum of Art of Girona located in the former episcopal palace, which by the way features all styles from Romanesque to Renaissance, up to the present day; just like its collection, containing incomprehensible things like part of the altarpiece of San Feliu, and another part in the Basilica. I believe that many of these works could currently be in their places of origin, otherwise, the museum becomes a storage of Romanesque Virgins, nonsensical. Currently, there is a very interesting temporary exhibition of Mela Muter and Polish artists in Catalonia.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A lot of art, very organized in a historic building, Fita's temporary exhibition is great! The information can be consulted with a fairly easy app.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I was once at a concert here and it has very good acoustics, an original place for it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Well organized the rooms
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A gem not to be missed. We were amazed at the very few people present, especially in mid-August. The artworks are very well presented, from the Middle Ages to today, with large spaces. It truly is a very vast collection that seems endless. Beautiful, beautiful. Very low price with an audio guide also in Italian. A tip: be prepared to walk ;-)
Translated from Italiano

Positive experience: Museum with diverse works from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Including works from the 19th to 21st centuries. The building itself is quite interesting. Once inside, as can happen in other museums due to the style. The repetition of works with the same theme can become a bit overwhelming. However, if you are an art or history lover, you will enjoy it immensely. Recommended for lovers of history or art. They also offer activities aimed at children, families, and temporary exhibitions.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Many works, some very beautiful - notably some magnificent altarpieces from the churches/monasteries of Catalonia. A very well-stocked and diverse museum, with few visitors. It just lacks a bit more explanations (we didn't take an audioguide with the combined ticket, but maybe in the rush to visit all of Girona I wasn't attentive enough). Some rooms are very beautiful and the works are well displayed, there's even a "lounge" in a cool place with large, very cozy sofas to relax! The museum staff is particularly attentive and friendly. Our (5!) children (ages 5 to 10) really enjoyed the game of finding printed photos on sheets provided for free in the works. I particularly recommend it, especially if you are - and even if you are not - sensitive to religious art, classicism, and the beauty of Catalonia. In short, a big favorite for this "small"/large museum - in the sense that it doesn't really resemble the big cultural machines of Paris, Barcelona, or elsewhere (which I can also love) but still holds a certain gem that seems to be offered with taste, scientific and artistic rigor, and especially passion... The clarity that emerges from the chronological discovery of this museum makes the art on display, even if it may seem quite distant at times - especially in time - still seem so close, at least physically. In short, go for it, without it preventing you from also seeing other more colorful things like Dali in Figueres, Gaudí or Picasso in Barcelona, or the calm of San Pere de Rodes at Cap de Creus (of which some elements are also exhibited here). May Catalonia - whether Spanish or not - be rich, and Girona has much to do with it!
Translated from French

Positive experience: I went to see the temporary exhibition of Olga Sacharoff, so I can only talk about the space I know. First of all, I must say that it is not accessible for people with reduced mobility, and the spaces and lighting need urgent remodeling. It is a shame because the place has a lot of potential. I should mention that I found a serious lack of qualified staff, as there was only one girl selling tickets, and she demonstrated her lack of suitability in the interaction; in the rest of the exhibition, it was a 'anyone could'. No one else.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: I would recommend having translations in Spanish and English for the temporary exhibitions. I went with my Scottish girlfriend and she was amazed. A few A4 papers in a corner of the text in Catalan on the wall would be enough!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A museum to visit often. High-quality temporary exhibitions, guided visits, lectures, ... And the Romanesque and Gothic collection, a wonder.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very interesting museum with great quality and quantity of art in general but unknown and little visited.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I was there on Sunday with the family for the open day. Beautiful venue, which gives us an idea of the liturgical art mostly found in the city. Most of the works date from the 13th to the 16th century. I might be mistaken, I am not an expert. But most of the works are of a Catholic Christian nature. Most have been restored. It was a great day. It nourishes the soul. It is next to the Cathedral.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the open doors museum day. Beautiful space, well maintained and very complete with the relics of this locality. Exquisite visitor service. Girona is great!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Good building in itself and also good pieces of interest for those who like this topic of art and periods of the pieces.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Permanent exhibition not very attractive but the two temporary ones are very interesting. Friendly staff
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Wonderful extensive collection of art although it lacks Contemporary Art within the permanent Expo. I rate it three because the security guard was asleep in front of the screen and there was no security personnel in the rooms and this may be negligent given the funds they hold. The visit is worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent museum, very spacious covering everything from Romanesque to the 20th century.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A fantastic collection, it should be a must-visit in Girona. As a future art historian, I am pleased to have a collection like this in my cherished city. The space is very well maintained and the artworks are very well selected. Recently, I saw that a new audio guide has been launched and that they held theatrical tours in July, I can't wait to go back! I wish that in Girona the entrance was free for art history students, like at the MNAC, for example. So close to the faculty... I'm sure we would be spending the whole day between galleries! Delighted with the staff and the management of the museum. Moreover, it is accessible.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Excellent place. At first, we had a bad experience with the receptionist on the Night of Museums, where she made several inappropriate comments (even with a racist and selective tone)... However, later the guided tour was given by the museum director, who gave us a masterful talk about the works in the museum that was truly impressive... Clearly, we were able to realize who loves their job and who is there just because it's their turn.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Nice museum where you can see and study the history of Girona, basically from the Romanesque period to modern times in painting. You need time to see it properly. It lacks an exhibition update. Temporary exhibitions are held. You can visit it together with the cathedral with a combined ticket.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A wonderful place that transports you to other centuries through the content of its masterpieces, in addition to the exterior environment that adds to all this content. I recommend visiting it and spending a reasonable amount of time there because it deserves admiration for its content. Don't think about it, visit it.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The permanent collection has many interesting pieces that range from Romanesque to the 20th century. In addition, there was a temporary exhibition of Olga Sacharoff, whom I did not know, and I was impressed.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and with a multitude of works. I totally recommend it if you like art. I saw it in two visits taking advantage of the first Sunday of each month, which is free.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Excellent museum to appreciate, in addition to art, the relics of the history of Girona. It takes about two hours to calmly enjoy all the rooms and exhibitions the museum offers
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very interesting museum
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent temporary exhibitions and a magnificent artistic legacy in the museum. It's worth getting lost among its halls.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I love art and there is a lot at the Museum, the problem is the mask and there was no air, other than that it was great.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Recommendation to go first to the cathedral that has a pack that includes this museum for €10.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Super cool this little museum. Full of extremely interesting elements from an artistic and historical perspective. To combine with the visit to the basilica of Girona and the cathedral of Sant Feliu!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: All sections are of great interest and very well preserved with a very well-maintained exhibition.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very interesting the permanent collection. There are few pieces, but they create a very correct ensemble, with some special works. The temporary exhibition of Olga Sacharoff was a very enriching experience. We enjoyed it a lot.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Astonishing Museum with unforgettable works of art. A must see.

Fantastic experience: The art museum is filled with fantastic beautiful art objects that make the eyes and souls of visitors happy.

Fantastic experience: I visited with my wife in October 2018. We liked it a lot. A very kind girl at the entrance, she tried hard to help, explain, and offered materials about the exhibitions. The museum is interesting with a large collection of medieval artworks and everyday objects. There aren’t many contemporary art pieces, but there are curious items. The hall describing medieval painting techniques, paint components, preparation methods, and what they used to paint with was very impressive. Of course, there's room for growth, some corners of the museum require restoration, but not many. Some of the exhibits were under restoration, but that’s normal. Quite cool stairs, but considering Catalan cuisine, it’s even beneficial. Moreover, there are elevators. Recommended for art lovers and medievalists. It’s not worth visiting just for the sake of it.

Fantastic experience: Collections of Romanesque art and exceptional sculptures and paintings... I was blown away by the splendor of the collections. I couldn't see everything. I found the humanist sculptures and paintings full of character and astonishing in this 'Romanesque and Catalan Gothic, thanks also to the contribution of great masters from the north. The explanatory workshop of oil paintings and stained glass. A must-do as a complement to the Cathedral and the basilica.
Translated from French

Positive experience: Museum dedicated primarily to religious paintings. In the last rooms (park of more contemporary artists), beautiful display of the works; explanatory sheets in French and English are available in the rooms. Possibility of having an audio guide. Museum located near the cathedral; it is advisable to purchase a combined ticket (cathedral, basilica, and museum).
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: best art museum in Catalonia

Fantastic experience: I went on a free day so maybe that influenced my opinion somewhat but I really liked this museum. The staff were very friendly, it wasn’t overly crowded, and I really liked that the 19/20th century work which is very site-specific is housed on the 4th floor with big windows looking out over Girona. That seemed very thoughtful. I enjoyed the current exhibition & very much appreciated that there were no audio guides.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful museum with one of the best collections of European early painting and an astonishing collection of medieval madonnas, most of them still with parts of their original painting. Your eyes are filled with beauty and color. You even learn how the early processes of painting and printing worked. A travel in time.

Positive experience: Good museum, better to visit after the Girona Cathedral, it will be clearer what is what. Unfortunately, not all exhibits have labels in English. It was especially disappointing regarding the temporary exhibition on the history of art forgeries. There are printed materials (map, small note) in Russian.
Translated from Russian

Fantastic experience: To get there, you take a nice walk through the old town, which is beautiful. When you arrive at the Cathedral square and pass through the gate... some magnificent flowers. I thought it was very well maintained and arranged in a very attractive way for everyone. The temporary exhibitions were also very interesting, well curated!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It is located in an emblematic building with a lot of history, such as the Episcopal Palace. It collects various pieces of art from the Girona region since the paleochristian -Romanesque-Gothic-Renaissance-Baroque-Modernism-...19th century. Very particular and exceptional pieces. Gothic altarpieces. Displays stained glass from the 15th-16th centuries. Color production workshop...very interesting.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A museum that deserves a visit. Local artworks from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Among the pieces to highlight, I would point out the Hispano-Arab objects (arkets and crystal bowl), the medieval books (homilies of Bede and Martirology), the Romanesque relief of the lioness, the beam of Cruïlles, the Gothic altarpiece of Saint Peter of Púbol, and the other altarpieces found in the same room. The medieval stained glass table is a unique piece in the world. Internal circulation is quite complicated.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: As always with very interesting exhibitions, like the one by Modest Urgell
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the visit, it's a small museum with very interesting content. It's a very good representation of art in Catalonia in each of its periods.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A museum with a great collection of Romanesque art that should be a must-visit in Girona and which, unfortunately, is off the main tourist routes of the city. If you go, you will make a great discovery! Located just next to the Cathedral, going up the steps, to the right.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: If you haven't visited it yet, it's one of those mandatory stops. Abundant collection of Medieval art that requires time to look at and enjoy. It's a shame that as we advance chronologically, we see fewer pieces, but there are still gems.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It was quite nice, I actually loved it.

Positive experience: Nice and cool in the hot weather! There is a lot of early religious art, which can be a bit repetitious, but also some other exhibitions of Catalan artists which, although they aren't likely to set the world on fire, were quite interesting.

Fantastic experience: Not only for the exceptional medieval art collection or for the privileged space that the institution occupies, it is also worth visiting and revisiting the Md'A for the temporary exhibitions and other cultural activities it organizes.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Good afternoon, I am a specialist of Modest Urgell Inglada, I consulted your archives over 20 years ago to do my thesis. You can count on me for any inquiries. Congratulations for dedicating an exhibition to this important artist.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Magnificent guided tour on the night of the museums.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: It's nice to visit, you can also buy a combo ticket. The lady at the reception didn't know that teachers can enter the museum for free.

Positive experience: Very interesting to complete the visit to the cathedral and to Sant Feliu. Especially interesting is the part of the main altarpiece of the church of Sant Feliu that is exhibited...
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A very interesting space.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very good temporary exhibition of Maties Palau Ferré. The permanent collection is quite good
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very pleasant space with very interesting works of art. Excellent, although too small and with very variable temperature.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Interesting artifacts from as far back as the 7th century. Some incredible sculptures and paintings as well as history related to Girona.

Fantastic experience: brutal, we were able to go with our partner during flower time when the entrance was free, we wouldn't mind going back
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Extraordinary... the collection, the museographic project, the people behind it who give their all for this museum!!!
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: It's a very interesting museum. There are quite a few architectural barriers, even though there is an elevator.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Nice museum, but surprisingly small and with little variety. The art was very interesting.

Positive experience: Excellent art collection. A good representation of the religious art from the Girona region.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A good place to see art and gain culture. When they offer guided tours it is very interesting.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Mainly catholic related pieces of art. Nice museum in an ancient episcopal palace.

Positive experience: Beautiful cathedral
Translated from Italiano

Positive experience: Nice museum. The exhibitions are good, especially the last two floors.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Impressive building. We went to see the exhibition of Modest Urgell. We will return.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Interesting. Thanks to the audio guides, it is possible to visit it without problems.
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: It is wonderful. If you like sacred art you can't miss it.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Accessibility only on foot, but excellent museum with splendid collections.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A 10 for the night guided tours and the dynamization.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: This museum is another must-see for visitors to Girona. However enjoyment of its richness of exhibits is inhibited by the complete absence of a paper guide in English or even in Spanish (Castilian) which is why I have awarded this occasion four rather than five stars. For me the highlight were the astonishing (and huge) altar pieces, the illuminated manuscripts and Neapolitan paintings, but there is really so much to enjoy here. A free downloadable audioguide is available but does not do justice to the museum.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent incredible, I think there are missing historical references to the reasons for the art.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Art from Girona from the Romanesque period to the 20th century, very well organized and presented for those of us who are not very knowledgeable...
