Museo Diocesano, Religious art museum in Brescia, Italy
The Museo Diocesano displays sacred art collections across 23 exhibition rooms, featuring paintings, sculptures, and liturgical objects from the diocese of Brescia.
Established in 1978 by Bishop Luigi Morstabilini, the museum occupies the grand cloister of San Giuseppe monastery, following a complex acquisition process requiring parliamentary approval.
The museum holds twenty-two illuminated manuscripts dating from the 12th to 16th centuries, including the notable Antiphonary and the Summa Theologiae of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
Located near Piazza Loggia at Via Gasparo da Salò 13, the museum provides specialized guided tours and contains a dedicated section for visually impaired visitors.
A 17th-century loom reconstruction demonstrates historical textile manufacturing techniques, complementing the museum's extensive collection of liturgical vestments.
