Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Religious art museum near San Lorenzo Cathedral, Perugia, Italy
The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo contains 25 exhibition rooms displaying liturgical treasures, sculptures, manuscripts, and paintings from multiple centuries of regional art development.
The museum opened its first halls in 1923 under the Chapter of the Cathedral, and archaeological excavations in the 1980s revealed underground spaces leading to reopening in 2000.
The collection includes Gothic and Renaissance pieces, liturgical objects from local artisans, and significant artworks from Umbrian artists, including the Altarpiece of Sant'Onofrio by Luca Signorelli.
The museum spans 5,000 square meters in central Perugia, welcoming 20,578 visitors in 2021, and operates under management of the local Archdiocese as an Italian national heritage site.
Underground spaces discovered during archaeological excavations add an extra dimension to the museum's exhibition areas, connecting modern displays with historical foundations.
