This museum’s setting within 18th-century cloisters lends an appropriately antique feel to your journey from Roman Girona to the present day. Standout displays include an exhibition illuminating the 3rd- to 4th-century Can Pau Birol mosaic, which depicts a lively circus scene with charioteers, and an explanation of the siege of Girona by Napoleonic troops. Many pieces on display are copies rather than originals, making this a place to unpeel the layers of Girona's history rather than goggle at sculpture and art.
