La formació de col·leccions diocesanes a Catalunya

The book gathers the contributions of the 2nd Meeting on Catalonia’s Museums and Church Heritage, which occurred on the 20th of November 2014. This meeting, which gathered professionals from all around the country, studied the creation of diocesan collections in Catalonia and focused on the study of museums fostered by the Catalan Church (guardians of an essential patrimony for the understanding of the region’s history). This text highlights the importance of heritage policies, Vatican guidelines, purchases, sales, antique shops, collectors, rectors, bishops and all those elements that established the origins of Catalan museology.
