The objects gathered in this museum all have a Capuchin origin and are closely related to the life of the convent, founded in 1535. They concern both the daily life of the friars and religious practice. Among the former, objects related to traditional Capuchin activities can be seen: horticulture, clothing making, cellar and kitchen care, weaving, weaving, wood building, distillery and pharmacopoeia. We also find molds for making wafers and containers for quests. Items related to religious and liturgical activity include sacred textiles, penitential instruments, chalices, monstrances, and reliquaries. Also of interest are the library and picture gallery displayed in the church, as well as altar inlays and wooden candlesticks.
