Treasure Museum of the basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi
Treasure Museum of the basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, Religious museum at Basilica of Saint Francis, Assisi, Italy
The museum contains an array of sacred artifacts displayed in two halls on the northern side of the Cloister of Pope Sixtus IV.
The collection began with gifts to the basilica, including a gold cross with precious stones sent by Pope Gregory IX during the transfer of Francis's body in 1230.
The museum features Flemish tapestries, medieval glazed majolica, and a collection of paintings from Venetian and Tuscan schools of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Museum access is through the second level of the Renaissance cloister, with regular hours from Monday through Sunday including mid-day closure periods.
The collection includes rare thirteenth-century Sicilian silk dossals and an illuminated Parisian missal containing the evangelary of Saint Louis IX.
