Museum of contemporary religious art in the Santa Maria la Nova complex, with a section devoted to the nativity scene.

The monumental complex of Santa Maria la Nova is home to ARCA, the museum of contemporary religious art. Across six rooms it gathers works on sacred themes from 1949 to the present day.We love the permanent section devoted to nativity-scene art, one of Naples' best-loved traditions. We recommend visiting it together with the cloister and the church of Santa Maria la Nova.
