À propos
Faits rapides: Le Musée d'art sacré de Split conserve plus de 400 objets liturgiques provenant d'églises de toute la Dalmatie qui ont été détruites ou désaffectées. La collection comprend des calices gothiques ornés, des reliquaires de la Renaissance et des vêtements richement brodés couvrant six siècles.
Points forts: Une galerie est entièrement consacrée à une seule croix processionnelle en argent doré du XVe siècle dont les panneaux en relief finement ouvragés racontent l'histoire de la Passion du Christ en miniature. La croix a survécu à la fois au pillage napoléonien et aux bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cachée à deux reprises dans les murs de pierre d'un monastère franciscain.
Conseils d'initiés
- The wooden choir stalls on the upper floor have carved misericords with hidden satirical faces: slide your hand underneath to feel the medieval humor.
- Photography is allowed without flash, but the low lighting means you'll want a steady hand or a phone with good low-light mode.
- Skip the audioguide if you're short on time, the wall placards in English give enough context for the highlights.
- Visit right after the 11:00 AM Sunday mass at the nearby cathedral, when the streets are quiet and the museum feels like your private collection.
