Original museum entirely dedicated to the theme of the crib and the nativity, owes its foundation to Don Sesto Serri, initiator of a collection which currently has over a hundred specimens of different ages and from different backgrounds. Of particular interest are the Neapolitan sculptures, about seventy pieces, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth century and the late-nineteenth-century crib Raffaele Minutolo set, in the night, in the Piazza Grande of Modena. The collection is completed by a wooden group of the XIV century depicting the Madonna and Child, several engravings and some icons of the Russian sphere and Greek.
