Museo Capitolare di Atri, orario apertura

The Museo Capitolare di Atri occupies eight rooms in a historic complex adjoining the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in the medieval hill town of Atri, in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. The collection brings together works from the Cathedral and the other churches of Atri spanning many centuries. The first two rooms contain sacristy furniture, reliquary busts, liturgical vestments, illuminated codices, and incunabula. Three further rooms are devoted to the picture gallery, with paintings from the 14th to the 19th centuries, followed by a room of ceramics from the 16th to the 20th centuries, highlighted by the hundred-piece "Vincenzo Bindi" donation. Subsequent rooms display sacred silverware and the Tommaso Illuminati collection. The visit continues through the two outer orders of the Romanesque cloister and concludes with a Roman cistern from the 3rd century BC discovered beneath the complex.
