Josep Gudiol i Cunill, museologist

Josep Gudiol i Cunill (1872-1931), a priest and a citizen of Vic, was the Curator of the Episcopal Museum of Vic from 1898 until his death. His task as head of the Museum allowed the structuration and consolidation of a project centered on creation, preservation and diffusion of the Museum’s collections. The continuous interaction between this work and a very intense and highly qualified scientifical activity places the figure of Josep Gudiol in a key position in order to understand the origins of catalan scientifical museology in the european context of that time.
