Museum of the Shroud

The Most Holy Shroud Museum is the place permanently addressed to the worship, disclosure, knowing and study on the Holy Shroud. Apart from the sporadic exhibitions, it is the only place, that allows to approach to the scientific and historical questions related to the Holy Shroud.

J'ai été fidèle au vrai esprit scientifique en traitant cette question préoccupé du seul souci de la vérité, sans m'inquiéter si cela ferait ou non les affaires de tel ou tel parti religieux. Et ce sont ceux qui se sont laissés influencer par ce souci qui ont trahi la méthode scientifique.
