The Museo del Santuario Arcivescovile della Beata Vergine dei Miracoli di Corbetta, also known as the Museo delle Camere di San Carlo, is a museum located in the town of Corbetta. It is housed in the local Marian sanctuary and offers a unique insight into the spiritual and pastoral experience of Saint Carlo Borromeo in Corbetta and its parish. The museum is open to the public by reservation.
Concept and History of the Museum
The museum was conceived as a journey on the spiritual and pastoral experience of Saint Carlo Borromeo in Corbetta and its parish. It was inaugurated by Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster in 1938 to retrace the pilgrimage to the Holy Shroud made by Borromeo 360 years earlier. The museum's layout was completely renovated in 2010 for better public use and the first guided tours were organized.
Art and Sacred Objects in the Museum
The museum houses sacred art paintings and precious objects donated as ex-votos, collected in the Chapel of Blessings, in the second internal courtyard to the cloister. In addition, the 'Bolla del Perdono', a document by Pope Pius IV (1562) granting plenary indulgence to those who visited the Corbetta sanctuary on the Thursday after Easter, is also on display.
