Centenary of St. Albert of Trapani

Carmelite Heritage Museum Project

The Carmelite Order has made a rich contribution to world culture through the production of art through its 8 centuries of existence.

Many pieces of important Carmelite art, such as stained glass windows at Boppard-am-Rhein, Germany, are already in the world’s great museums. In our virtual museum, we will show you some of the art that is still located in its original sites, often in churches or monasteries of the Carmelite Order.
