The Diocesan Museum of Sassari is located in the historic center of the city inside the Cathedral, in the Sacristy of the Beneficiaries and in the crypt of the church of San Michele. The collection features 19th and 20th century vestments, furnishings from different eras and some reliquaries, including that of San Sebastiano and San Biagio. There are also the golds of the Assumption, a small review of the shapes of the precious in use in Sassari from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. Of particular value are the liturgical silvers from the seventeenth to the nineteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the three ivory crucifixes from the mid-seventeenth century to the early eighteenth century and the imposing Rococo Eucharistic throne. The exhibition closes with some twentieth-century chalices, a gift from John Paul II, the monstrance of Archbishop Mazzotti, made in 1948 based on a design by Eugenio Tavolara, and the oil amphora, a gift from Archbishop Isgrò for the 2000 Jubilee. it continues in the New Archive, dated 1754, with silver furnishings, refined Italian and French vestments and embroidery. The splendid silver processional cross, made in 1767 by Salvatore Mamely from Cagliari, and the silver lamp by the Roman Giovacchino Belli, dated 1824, stand out. The itinerary ends in the crypt of the Church of San Michele, where eight panels illustrate the history of excavations, the evolution and history of the cathedral and the place where the church was built. Architectural elements of the Romanesque and Gothic phase of the building are exhibited, tombstones, ceramic, glass and metal finds, devotional objects and elements of clothing recovered during the excavations.
