The history books state that from 1086 to 1860, the rooms of the cathedral complex - the cathedral itself, cloister, the chapel of Arnaldo Barbazán, refectory, kitchen and cillería (an area used as a pantry and storeroom) - were used by the cathedral clergy (canons) for their community life.
It would be tedious to mention all the different modifications the museum has undergone, although special mention should be made of the most recent transformation carried out in 1996. The main aim of the cathedral chapter is to preserve the postulates with which the permanent collection on display was created, by adapting them to modern times by incorporating new works of art, restoring the façades and rooms, and restoring existing works of art - so that these may once again be viewed in all their splendour.
