The Episcopal Museum of Vic opens a new stage with Lídia Fàbregas at the helm
The historian and cultural manager will take over the management of the Episcopal Museum of Vic this May, replacing Oriol Picas, who is retiring after four years leading the institution.
The Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV) begins a new stage with the appointment of Lídia Fàbregas i Solé as its new director. The decision has been approved by the museum's board of trustees and represents a significant change within one of the country's leading heritage institutions. Fàbregas will take office this May, replacing Oriol Picas Riera, who is retiring after more than four years at the helm of the MEV.
The appointment of Fàbregas also represents a historic event: she will be the first woman to direct the museum in Vigat. Her appointment continues the process of institutional opening that began with the arrival of Oriol Picas, who became the first non-ecclesiastical director of the museum's modern stage.
Until now, Fàbregas served as technical director of the Diocesan and Regional Museum of Solsona, where she had worked since 2020. Before assuming technical direction, she had developed various responsibilities linked to museum coordination, documentation, research, communication and heritage dissemination.
A graduate in History from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, with a specialization in archaeology, she also has a postgraduate degree in Strategic Management of Museums and Heritage Centers from the University of Girona. Her career combines experience in cultural management, heritage and management of museum facilities.
In his first statements after the appointment was made public, Fàbregas assured that he faces this new responsibility “with great enthusiasm, responsibility and respect”. He also stressed his desire to join a team “that I admire for its rigor and good know-how” and highlighted the role of the MEV as a reference space within the Catalan museum system.
The new director takes on the challenge with the desire to strengthen the museum's links with the community, the territory and the entire Catalan cultural sector, in a stage marked by the projection and consolidation of the museum as a key center of European medieval art.
