Musei Vaticani: Pontificio Museo Missionario Etnologico
The Pontifical Ethnological Missionary Museum was founded in 1926 by Pope Pius XI, at the closing of the Universal Missionary Exhibition. Inaugurated in the Palazzo del Laterano in 1927, only in 1973 it was set up in the current headquarters of the Vatican Museums. The Museum contains several works offered to the Popes by individuals and by the different Dioceses, works that are of valuable historical and cultural value. Note the collection of the Borgiano Museum and the collection of prehistoric finds of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem.
