The exhibition is located in the parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena. The main theme of the exhibition is the “Treasure of Santa Maria Maddalena,” ex-votos offered by devotees to the Holy Patroness. The treasure includes jewelry from Gallurese production of the 16th-18th centuries. You can admire statues, paintings, tapestries, ancient books, tabernacles, sacred vestments, and altar furnishings, such as monstrances, pyxes, chalices, patens, thuribles, and glory cards. Equally important are the liturgical silverware with the coat of arms of Baron Giorgio Andreas De Geneys, appointed commander of the Sardinian navy in 1799 by Viceroy Carlo Felice. An inventory of the “treasure” and ancient documentation of offerings for the construction of the church are present. The museum is attached to a specialized library of religious culture with essays and specific bibliography on the Saint, New Testament studies, and apocryphal texts.
