Museo del tesoro di San Pietro, Religious treasury museum in St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.
The Treasury Museum displays sacred vestments, liturgical furnishings, and religious objects dedicated to the Vatican Basilica through multiple exhibition rooms.
After the Roman sacking of 1527 and Napoleon's actions following the 1797 Treaty of Tolentino, the museum rebuilt its collection of ecclesiastical treasures.
The museum presents the Dalmatic of Charlemagne, decorated with religious scenes, which research identifies as a Byzantine patriarchal sakkos from the 12th century.
Visitors access the museum through the sacristy corridor in the left transept of St Peter's Basilica, with opening hours from 7:30 to 18:30 daily.
The collection includes a 9th-century gilded metal rooster that stood atop the bell tower of the original Constantinian Basilica.
