The Montevergine Abbey Museum was born in the historic Abbey of the town of Montevergine, in the province of Avellino. The Museum was opened to the public in 1968 and after years of restorations and renovations of the building, the definitive total opening of the museum rooms was only in 2000. The museum exhibition is divided into four thematic areas and is spread over two floors. The route is made fascinating by the presence of three large windows in the hall of the former monastic refectory, from which you can enjoy a seductive view of the city of Avellino and the whole valley. The works on display are all the finds that were collected by the monks during the collapse of the Abbey in 1629. The monks recovered pieces of architecture and sculpture, votive tablets and nativity scenes. The latter are added to the numerous archaeological finds now exhibited in the Museum.
