Provincial Museum of Lugo, Provincial museum in Lugo, Spain.

The museum was founded in 1932 by the Provincial Council of Lugo and moved to its current location in 1957 in the former Franciscan convent. The relocation allowed for the combination of historic monastic spaces with modern exhibition areas.
The collections showcase religious artwork from different periods of Spanish history, including Gothic sculptures and Baroque pieces. Visitors can see silver processional crosses and other liturgical objects that reflect the spiritual life of the region.
The museum maintains long opening hours during weekdays and adjusted times on weekends. Admission is free for everyone who visits.
The ground floor displays mosaic tiles from the 3rd century found in Lugo, representing important Roman remains. These pieces offer insight into the daily life of the ancient Roman population in the region.
