Civic Museum – Palace of the Former Conventual Fathers

The Civic Museum, or rather, the Municipal Art Gallery of Ostra, was set up in 1970 inside the Palazzo dei Conventuali, an imposing eighteenth-century building which also houses the library and the municipal historical archive.

The collection of art objects preserved there includes around thirty paintings on canvas, among which a work by Andrea Sacchi, S. Bonaventure and S. Thomas Aquinas in conversation (currently on deposit at the Superintendency of Urbino) and a work by François Perrier, Pontiff with Sacred College and St. Galla.

In addition to the paintings, the collection also includes wooden statues, an 18th-century sedan chair, and some 18th-century furnishings. 17th and 18th centuries, a wooden model of the Holy House of Loreto from the 17th century. The oldest work is a Madonna and Child in polychrome terracotta, a fine example of 14th-century Arte Povera.
