Girona Art Museum, Girona

In the lofty former Bishop’s Palace, the Museu d’Art houses an impressive collection of Catalan art from the Romanesque and Gothic to the twentieth century. The most remarkable exhibits are a tenth-century portable altar from Sant Pere de Rodes, one of the very few preserved in Europe, and a minutely detailed twelfth-century crossbeam from
the church at Cruïlles. An extensive collection of religious art includes the unique fourteenth-century stencils used to make the cathedral’s stained-glass windows. The museum also boasts some wonderful works by nineteenth- and twentieth-century Catalan Impressionists, notably the landscapes of Joaquim Vayreda and the dreamy scenes of Girona by Santiago Rusiñol.
