Original museum entirely dedicated to the theme of the nativity scene and the nativity, owes its foundation to Don Sesto Serri, initiator of a collection that currently counts over a hundred examples from various eras and different origins. Of notable interest are the Neapolitan sculptures, about seventy pieces, dating between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the late nineteenth-century nativity scene by Raffaele Minutolo set, at night, in the Piazza Grande of Modena. The collection is completed by a wooden group from the 14th century depicting the Madonna with Child, various engravings, and some icons of Russian and Greek origin.
