Created in 1972 by Don Carlo Costamagna, in the rooms of the former monastery, the museum conserves paintings, sacred ornaments, pictures on wood, furnishings and liturgical clothing coming from the neighboring Basilica di Santa Maria della Passione.
In the old sacresty as well as 10 18th century wooden panels with biblical scenes, there are various canvases from the 17th century Lombardy school such as S. Gregorio Magno and S. Gerolamo di Carlo Francesco Nuvolone.
The splendid 15th century vaults of the Sala Capitolare deisgned by Bergognone conserves various parts frescoed by the renaissance artist as well as the nine tables of Christ and the apostles, painted around 1514.
From the Sala Capitolare you can pass to the gallery, with paintings by Daniele Crespi, Nuvolone, Giuseppe Vermiglio and Giulio Cesare Procaccini and to the Sala degli Arredi with its engraved cupboards, reliquaries, vestments and other liturgical items.
