Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Archiepiscopal Museum

The museum, located just behind the Cathedral, is not large, but hosts a tremendous collection. Part of the museum is the bishop´s private chapel, built end of the 5th century and dedicated to Sant'Andrea. The famous "Throne of Maximian" (= "Cattedra di Massimiano"), carved from ivory ~ 550, is on display and many other delicate works of art. Unfortunately to take photos here is - not allowed. So I could take only very few, before getting a warning The same reliquary (6th c.) seen on the previous upload. "Daniel in the lions' den". To the right is Habakkuk, bringing the food.
