A testimony of faith, art and everyday life: the museum, occupying portions of the convent, tells the story of the congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and their daily life. A must-see in order to better understand the town’s history and its deep religious roots.
 
TRIVIA - Today’s nunnery is the former Convent of Saint Clare, which was shut down by Napoleon in 1810.
