Located in Moita do Gavião, the Museum-Room is annexed to the Parish Church of Benedita, in the heart of this locality within the municipality of Alcobaça. Its central position in Benedita allows for direct access and facilitates understanding of its role in the life of the local community.
The Museum-Room houses a collection of pieces that bear witness to the faith and history of the Benedita parish. Among the collection are various examples of sacred art and liturgical implements, objects that have served throughout the centuries in church ceremonies and rituals. This exhibition offers insight into the devotion and religious practices that have shaped the life of this community over time.
One of the distinctive aspects of this space is the presence of images dating back to the 16th and 18th centuries. These pieces, due to their age and significance, offer a glimpse into the artistic and devotional production of past eras. The exhibition is complemented by sets of paraments, the liturgical vestments used by the clergy, which, with their richness of detail and materials, also narrate the evolution of worship and religious textile art.
