The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) is holding a crucial meeting on Monday to determine the future of the Sixena Medieval mural paintings. The meeting involves key stakeholders, including the Catalan and Spanish governments, members of the City Council, and various private entities.
The meeting was convened following a ruling by Spain's Supreme Court, which mandated the return of the Sixena medieval paintings from the Barcelona museum to the Monastery of Vilanova de Sixena in Aragon. The court's decision has sparked significant debate about the paintings' preservation.
International experts and MNAC staff have expressed concerns that moving the artworks could potentially damage them. The meeting aims to address these concerns and decide on the paintings' fate, considering the legal and artistic implications.
