The exhibition was prepared in a wing of the convent, near the cloister, which was formerly the burial place of the friars. The rooms, with vaulted ceilings, preserve personal objects and photos depicting the friar at various moments of his life, as well as the different stages of the beatification process.
There is the tombstone of the burial in the Bonaria cemetery and the remains of the coffin before the transfer of the body to the Church of Sant’Ignazio. Remarkable are the images from June 10, 1958, when a huge crowd attended the funeral.
On display are the worn habits of the friar, the cloak, the glasses, and all the poor personal items. There are also folders with testimonies given by people during the beatification process.
The museum also houses several bronze sculptures, always dedicated to the friar from Gesturi for whom the canonization cause has been initiated.
