The exhibition is located in the parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena. The most important feature of the museum is that it is the place of memory of the founding of the town, of its growth and therefore of its own history, iconically witnessed by the cult of Saint Mary Magdalene. The main theme of the exhibition is the “Treasure of Saint Mary Magdalene”, an exhibition of ex-votaries offered by devotees to the Patron Saint. Gallurese jewellery from the 16th to 18th century is part of the treasure. You can admire statues, paintings, tapestries, ancient books, tabernacles, sacred vestments and altar equipment, such as monstrances, pissids, chalices, patens, turiboli and cartegloria. Equally important are the silver for the liturgy with the coat of arms of Baron Giorgio Andreas De Geneys, appointed commander of the Sardinian Navy in 1799 by Viceroy Carlo Felice. There is an inventory of the “treasure” and an ancient documentation of the offers for the construction of the church. There are numerous traces of the religious life of the community; crepitacles and other artisanal artifacts; iconographic finds from the early 19th century attesting to a sort of local masculine and feminine costume with gold and coral jewelry. A special section is dedicated to the devotional iconography of the Patron Saint: original engravings and prints of great historical and artistic interest. Attached to the museum is a specialized library of religious culture with essays and specific bibliography of the Saint, New Testament and Apocryphal.
Why it is important to visit it
There are numerous traces of the religious life of the community. The images (printed in the island town) are important, which testify to the historical evolution of the island's parishes or capture moments of religious life of the community or of individual Magdalenian religious. The exhibition contains the altar service donated by Orazio Nelson to the parish of Santa Maria Maddalena, consisting of three neoclassical silvers made in 1804 by a silversmith workshop in Barcelona. The silver is accompanied by autograph letters from the admiral.
