Fra Giammaria da Tusa Museum
The Fra Giammaria da Tusa Ethno-anthropological and Sacred Art Museum in Gibilmanna is housed in the ancient stable of the convent annexed to the sanctuary of Gibilmanna.
The museum houses works of art representative of Franciscan art from various places in Sicily.
Of particular value they are: the embroidered vestments; the seventeenth-century marsh pipe organ; the seventeenth-century polyptych with six sections by Fra 'Feliciano da Messina, known as the Raphael of the Capuchins; a statuette of the Pietà attributed to the cefaludese sculptor Jacopo del Duca, collaborator of Michelangelo.
A section of the museum is reserved for the library which houses various incunabula, the sixteenth and rare texts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
