The Museum is located in the architectural complex of the Duomo and can be accessed through the Romanesque cloister of the Cathedral.
Collections (donations from Canons and private parties, objects from churches in the area or found during archaeological excavations) bring together archaeological materials from pre-existing Roman buildings, religious ornaments from the Romanesque and Baroque periods and sculptures and paintings from the twelfth to the nineteenth century (in particular works from the Veronese school of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries).
Among the sculptures on display, the Madonna allattante deserves a special mention by a mid-thirteenth century Veronese artist as well as the works by the Maestro di S. Anastasia.
As for the paintings there are works by Liberale da Verona, Nicolò Giolfino, Francesco Morone, Felice Brusasorci, Giovanni Maria Falconetto, Bonifacio de 'Pitati, Paolo Farinati, Giovan Francesco Caroto, Alessandro Turchi (l'Orbetto), Giulio Carpioni, Francesco Benaglio, Alessandro Longhi, Giambettino Cignaroli and Fra 'Galgario.
