Cathedral Museum Mdina ( Malta) (Part2)

The mid-18th century building that now houses the Cathedral Museum was originally a seminary.

The Cathedral Museum's outstanding highlight is a series of woodcut and copperplate prints and lithographs by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer.

 
From 1858 onwards, the seminary was gradually phased out, and the building took on a number of different functions, until finally an exhibition of Marian Art held at the premises in 1949 inspired the ecclesiastical authorities to transform it into the Cathedral Museum.
 It is breathtaking looking at the paintings and pausing at time in reflections and in prayers.






 Our Lady pray and intercede for us.
