Museo Diocesano di Acqui Terme

The Cathedral Museum project at Nostra Signora Assunta in Acqui Terme concerns the sacred heritage of the cathedral complex at Piazza Duomo.

Why it matters

The project connects art, devotion and community history. It forms part of the diocese’s work to conserve and interpret cultural heritage, linking artistic expression with the religious life of the cathedral.

What to notice

The Chapter Hall and cloister were identified as the setting for a diocesan exhibition project in 2025. These cathedral spaces connect the museum’s intended cultural role with the architectural setting of the religious complex.

Context and history

For the Jubilee of 2025, the Diocese of Acqui announced the exhibition “Ars vs Charitas? L’ottava opera di misericordia” within a national initiative on ecclesiastical cultural heritage. The announcement described the Chapter Hall and cloister as spaces of the future Cathedral Museum. The project explored the relationship between artistic heritage, care for the community and the transmission of cultural memory.
