For technical reasons, we regret to inform you of the temporary closure of the exhibition D’Atzur i Or.

This permanent exhibition was created following the discovery in July 2004 of the Renaissance paintings in the Main Chapel of Valencia Cathedral. It was not a chance discovery, as its existence was already known, but it was the result of a search, study and research through the documentation preserved. The aim of this exhibition is to highlight not only the splendour of these frescoes, but also the splendour of an era and the work of recovering our heritage.

Thematically, the exhibition is presented as the conjunction of several areas:

1. This is provided by the paintings themselves, which are explicitly presented as one of the most interesting discoveries in painting at the time.
2. A second area would be its relationship and contextualisation in relation to the historical moment of the city of Valencia and San Miquel de los Reyes.
3. The significance of the musical angels and their identification with musical instruments and compositions would form a third area of the exhibition.
4. The fourth and final section refers to the discovery and subsequent enhancement using the most sophisticated restoration techniques.

The most significant element of the exhibition is a reconstruction of the musical instruments carried by the musician angels in their hands, made by important Spanish and European luthiers under the direction and coordination of Carles Magraner, who, knowing the historical moment and its musical value, have allowed the reconstruction of part of the musical pieces developed by music historians and musicologists.
