Next door to the cathedral, in the 12th- to 16th-century Palau Episcopal, this art museum impresses with the scale and variety of its collection. Around 8500 pieces of art, mostly from this region, make up the collection, which ranges from Romanesque woodcarvings and stained-glass tables to modernist paintings of the city by Mela Mutter and early-20th-century sculptures by influential Rafael Masó i Valentí.
Don’t skip Room 8 on the first floor: its stone walls are covered in gold-spangled religious art, giving the impression of wandering through a Gothic cathedral. Also find a small artist’s workshop, illustrating how minerals are ground up to make pigments.
