Museum “Arte Sacra e Religiosa Popolare”

The Museum “Arte Sacra e Religiosa Popolare” was inaugurated in 2000. The idea of creating this museum was born in the fact that in the Palazzo Comunale were collecting artistic objects that were believed to be saved, especially from the increasingly frequent thefts that came made in churches. The purpose of the Museum “Arte Sacra e Religiosa Popolare” is to protect and enhance the works of art. The new museum, titled to Beato Angelico, is divided into several sections:

• works from the parish church of Mugello
• works from churches scattered around Mugello
• oratory, tabernacles and works of popular devotion
