The Museu Diocersà offers a journey through sacred art that reveals how Barcelona has designed, believed in, and created art over the centuries. From ancient artefacts to contemporary works, the exhibition traces the evolution of Catalan religious art, from Gothic to Modernisme. Sculptures, altarpieces, paintings, and goldsmithing engage in a dialogue between faith, power, and historical context. More than a collection, the museum offers a visual interpretation of the heritage of the diocese and the city, presented from a contemporary perspective.
This is good to know
- The museum occupies the former Casa de la Pia Almoina, a Gothic-Renaissance building next to the Cathedral: here, the building itself rivals its content in beauty.
