In
the museum course the little room of sacred art represents
an appropriate introduction to the home chapel.
The little room, originally a passage corridor towards
the palace guestrooms - today enucleated from the Museum
seat -, in 1983 was prearranged to receive some objects
of sacred art which were present among the furniture
of the Miniscalchi-Erizzo house.

Collection Agnus Dei
from Pius V
(1566-1572) to Benedict XIII (1721-1724).

We
point out the eighteen ivory small plates, burin engraved,
of Lombard area, to be dated before the half of the
XVc.: they represent part of the decoration of a small
tabernacle of which it is impossible to reconstruct
with exactitude shape, dimensions, original number of
the small plates applied and their arrangement.
In addition in the little room there is the remarkable
Agnus Dei wax collection, chronologically arranged
from Pius V (1566-1572) to Benedict XIII (1721-1724),
which belonged to the canon Orazio Moscardo.

Ivory small plates, Saint Paul and Saint John the Evangelist.
