the collection of sacred items, statues, jewels, church accoutrements and other things is simply to remember. Beautiful building, perfect "warm" mix of modern materials in an old structure frame, good audioguide service. Very detailed bookshop: too many old postards and memorabilia for my personal tastes but...

Nicely laid out and easily accessible across all three floors with a lift. It's not particularly big, but boy does it have some great religious bling.

This museum is in an unusual and beautiful building. The museum houses the "clothing" and jewels of the "Volto Santo"... truly beautiful.

The Cathedral Museum can be visited on the cumulative Ilario ticket purchased in the Cathedral. At first one could be forgiven for thinking it is just a repository for saved fragments of frescoes and damaged marble statues. Instead it is housed in a former archbishop's house that has been extensively renovated in a modern style. The collection is small and... More
