Girona and its museums

Museums are not, or should not be, storehouses to keep valuable objects or more or less well-organized visualizations of the memory but alive and active presences of a history and a reality that is part of our heritage. Museums in Girona in general accomplish this didactic function bringing the visitor closer to certain experiences, culture and legacy. The visitor may find diversity but also this shared mission to be as a whole an accurate reflexion of a warm, cultured, thousand-year-old city.
