Housed in the medieval National Historic Monument building Fontana d’Or, the Girona CaixaForum is more than just a gallery; it’s a whole arts centre. As well as changing art exhibitions, it’s a space for performance, concerts and workshops. When in Girona, it’s worth a visit to discover what fascinating exhibits might be taking place.

El Bòlit Centre d'Art Contemporani

Museum

El Bòlit Centre d’Art Contemporani, inaugurated in 2008, is a cultural centre that aims to promote contemporary art in the city through a number of exhibitions, activities and workshops. The centre showcases work from local, national and international talents, and it has so far held 21 different exhibitions. As well as the main centre on Rambla de la Libertat, the centre has two other buildings – one in Sant Nicolau Church and one in La Carbonera.

Girona’s biggest and most important art museum is the Museu d’Art de Girona, housed in the city’s old Episcopal Palace, dating back to between the 12th and 16th centuries. A classic art museum, its collection includes more than 8,000 pieces from the Greek period through to the 20th century, as well as one of the most extensive collections of Romanesque and Gothic art in the province of Girona.

Galeria Riera

Galeria Riera

Located in the Old Town of Girona, Galeria Riera is housed in the 12th-century Hospital de Capellans. Promoting the work of local Catalan artists, it showcases all types of art but focuses specifically on painting. Artists featured here include Joan Mateu, who paints very life-like pictures of places around the Costa Brava, and Sergi Cadenas, who paints 3D oil paintings of faces on flat surfaces.
