The Terra Sancta Museum is a network of museums managed by the Custody of the Holy Land and located in the Old City of Jerusalem.[1][2] It originated from the first "Museum of the Franciscan Fathers" opened in 1902[3][4] to exhibit the results of archaeological excavations conducted in the Holy Land by the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum. Today it includes the Terra Sancta Museum - Archaeology situated at the Church of the Flagellation[5] and the Terra Sancta Museum - Art and History located at the Monastery of Saint Saviour.[6]
