Ravenna - Archiepiscopal Museum

Ravenna - Archiepiscopal Museum
The museum, located just behind the Cathedral, is not large, but hosts a tremendous collection. Part of the museum is the bishop´s private chapel, built end of the 5th century and dedicated to Sant'Andrea. The famous "Throne of Maximian" (= "Cattedra di Massimiano"), carved from ivory ~ 550, is on display and many other delicate works of art.

Unfortunately to take photos here is - not allowed.

So I could take only very few, before getting a warning

A reliquary (6th c.) with - the Magi.

They are offering gold, frankincense and myrrh to young Jesus and wear wear phrygian caps.
