The Museum of Popular Piety is set like a gem in the Basilica of Our Lady of Martyrs. The museum inside contains a variety of elements such as statues, sacred fittings of ancient design, liturgical vestments used before the Vatican Council II, antique prints, samples of the gold of the Madonna, paintings and votive objects, relics and a large variety of big and small cribs from around the world. These resources allow the visitor to trace a historical overview which starts from the twelfth century and ends with the artistic permanent crib made in 2004.
