Museo benedettino nonantolano e diocesano d'arte sacra
Museo benedettino nonantolano e diocesano d'arte sacra, Religious museum in Nonantola, Italy.
The Museo benedettino nonantolano e diocesano d'arte sacra is housed within an ancient monastic complex and presents sacred art through two main exhibition sections. These sections document diocesan and abbey history by displaying a range of religious objects and artworks.
The Abbey was founded in the early medieval period and maintained connections to major historical figures and events. The museum itself opened in 1999 to make the monastery's collections available to the public.
The collection brings together sacred artworks from churches across the Modena-Nonantola Diocese, including paintings by local artists such as Simone Cantarini and Giuseppe Maria Crespi. These works tell the story of religious tradition and artistic development in the region.
The museum is fully accessible for visitors with mobility limitations and provides a welcoming environment for all guests. Educational workshops and library services are available for those who wish to explore the collections in greater depth.
The museum's Treasury Room contains rare woven fabrics from the monastery's founding era, revealing the value placed on early craft traditions. Alongside these textiles are precious reliquaries holding fragments believed to be from the Cross of Christ.
