This museum is located in the former refectory, kitchen and cellars of Saint Columban monastery and is set up as a journey through the history of the Abbey and the city. Multimedia and audio-visual locations tell the story of Saint Columban and his life, the activities of the scriptorium, monasticism and the story of the city itself. Above the main entrance is the motto of Saint Columban’s Rule: “Ne Quid Nimis” (not too much, no excess) which reminds all to be sober and to exercise restraint with food.

Inside there is the beautiful twelfth century tile decoration, the remarkable recovered floor, and a fifteenth century fresco that represents the Crucifixion with Saint Columban and Saint Benedict.
