Museo dell'Opera Pia Purgatorio ad Arco, Religious museum in Via dei Tribunali, Naples, Italy.
The museum displays liturgical artifacts from the 16th to 19th centuries, including religious garments, chalices, books, and ceremonial items within the church complex.
Founded in 1605 as a Counter-Reformed institution by Naples aristocracy, the Opera Pia Purgatorio ad Arco provided assistance to impoverished residents of Naples.
The underground church contains an anonymous tomb surrounded by black chains, reflecting centuries-old traditions of prayers for souls in purgatory.
The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with final admission at 1:15 PM and special rates for children and students.
The sacristy features early 19th-century furniture crafted by Michele Guggenberger based on designs by Michelangelo del Gaiso.
