Assisi Diocesan Museum, Religious museum in Assisi, Italy.
The Assisi Diocesan Museum occupies the underground sections of San Rufino Cathedral, displaying artifacts across nine distinct exhibition areas over two floors.
Bishop Giuseppe Placido Nicolini founded the museum in 1941 to preserve significant artworks from the Assisi Cathedral and local confraternal oratories.
The museum exhibits 300 religious artworks, including Roman sarcophagi, medieval frescoes, and the polyptych of San Rufino created by Nicolò Alunno in 1462.
Visitors enter through two access points: the Cathedral entrance or the Piazza San Rufino entrance, with opening hours from 10 AM to 5 PM most days.
The underground crypt features vaulted arches with carved columns depicting the four evangelists and contains a Roman-era well called pozzo della Mensa.
