Diocesan Museum of Ancona "Mons. Cesare Recanatini", Religious art museum in Ancona, Italy.
The Diocesan Museum contains 460 exhibits spread across two floors, displaying religious artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and liturgical objects from different periods.
Founded in 1834 by Cesare Nembrini Pironi Gonzaga, the museum reopened in 1952 after extensive renovations following damage from World War II bombings.
The first floor houses early Christian artifacts, including the reliquary of Saint Stephen and an eleventh-century Byzantine cloth with historical illustrations.
The museum opens on Saturdays and Sundays from November to April, offering free admission, wheelchair accessibility, and a dedicated parking area.
The museum collection includes medieval plutei from the Cathedral and the portal of San Pietro Church, which was destroyed during World War II.
