MEV, Museu d'Art Medieval (Vic)

Book online Web WhatsApp

I am the MEV, the Museum of Medieval Art of Vic, a connecting link between the medieval past and the modern world. I house exceptional works of Catalan Romanesque and Gothic painting and sculpture that illustrate what art and life were like in the Middle Ages. My collections of goldsmithing, textiles, wrought iron, glass, and ceramics offer a comprehensive journey through the history of decorative arts in Catalonia. I am both past and present: through immersive digital experiences, I become an accessible museum where everyone can discover the collections in surprising ways. I am today, and I was a thousand years ago.

Immersive space "Today, a thousand years ago"

Through a captivating narrative, the new immersive space unveils a medieval world like never before, filled with mystery, light, and color within a landmark Romanesque cathedral. An emotional and sensory journey into the Middle Ages.

Rest area

Located on the second floor, overlooking the Romanesque bell tower of the Cathedral and the historic center of the city of Vic.

Observation sheets

The museum reception has free educational materials available for family visits.

Luggage storage and cloakroom

The Museum offers a free cloakroom and left luggage service. For security reasons, it is mandatory to leave bags, backpacks, umbrellas, or packages exceeding 40 x 40 cm in the left luggage facility. The Museum is not responsible for items left in the cloakroom.

Mobile visitor guide

If you use a mobile device during your visit, you can access the museum's website and choose different routes according to your interests, or if you wish to take a self-guided tour, you can expand the information on the works with videos, images, and texts.

Accessible parking

Access to the city's historic center is restricted to vehicles. People with reduced mobility who need to access the area can provide their license plate number at the Museum.

Vic, you now have a new corner to take a break.

The MEV cafeteria is now open, a quiet space to start the day with a good coffee, a leisurely breakfast, a relaxed lunch, or to find that place to read, study, or work for a while.

You don't need to visit the museum to come. Just sit down and enjoy the break as soon as you enter.
