The Girona Art Museum has launched a new phase of the El Museu al Territori project in Sant Miquel de Cruïlles to reconnect the local community with its historical roots.

The initiative highlights key works currently held in the museum that originated from the local monastery. These include the Cruïlles Beam, a rare Romanesque polychrome wooden beam, and the Saint Michael Altarpiece by the Gothic painter Lluís Borrassà, dating back to the early 15th century.
Educational workshops are a core part of the program, allowing students to explore medieval art techniques. Additionally, musicians Mariona Castells and Guillem Roma are working with local schools to create original songs inspired by the monastery, which will be performed in a concert in mid-March.
