Terra Sancta Museum

[1][2] It originated from the first "Museum of the Franciscan Fathers" opened in 1902[3][4] to exhibit the results of archaeological excavations conducted in the Holy Land by the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.

Today it includes the Terra Sancta Museum - Archaeology situated at the Church of the Flagellation[5] and the Terra Sancta Museum - Art and History located at the Monastery of Saint Saviour.

The launch of this project was officially announced on March 10, 2013, by Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Custos of the Holy Land at that time.

[14] The museum's construction work began in 2018, with an opening to the public anticipated in 2027.

The Terra Sancta Museum - Art and History will display the artistic and cultural heritage preserved by the Custody of the Holy Land from the Middle Ages to the contemporary period.
