Nativity Section
The Gandino Nativity Museum, opened at Christmas 1988, occupies six rooms located on the first and second floors of the 17th-century building of the old elementary schools.
On display are some 600 nativity scenes, representing more than 60 countries, as well as paintings with the subject of the Nativity and various sacred furnishings.
The collection is named after St. John Paul II, whose precious zucchetto or solideo is also kept in the museum, and who donated a Brazilian nativity scene.
There are works by well-known Spanish, French and Italian artists and unknown African and Latin American sculptors.
The materials are the most varied: from traditional wood, blown glass, ceramics, ivory, bamboo, dried tropical fruit peels to corn leaves.
Entrance fee with guided tours, reductions provided.
Open Nov. 1 to Feb. 28, every Saturday, Sunday and holiday from 2:30 to 6:30 pm.
Reservations for groups at 035/745425.
