Description
St. Anne's Museum Quarter is a restored monastery building from the 16th century that now functions as a museum. It displays medieval art collections spread across several connected buildings with various exhibition rooms and spaces.
History
The building was constructed in the early 16th century as a convent for unmarried daughters of wealthy families. It later became a poorhouse before eventually transforming into a museum in the 20th century.
