The museum holds a collection of religious art from the Monastery of St María de la Caridad of Tulebras, the first female Cistercian community in Spain (1147); the collection basically covers the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Of particular note is the painted altarpiece on the Dormition of the Virgin and the painting of the Holy Trinity by Jerónimo Cósida, both of the Mannerist Renaissance style, in addition to the Virgin of the Bed, an example of the baroque-style dressed sculptures, of extraordinary iconographic rareness. In addition to the exhibits of silverware, songbooks and furniture, it is also possible to visit the adjoining Romanesque tower which holds items of archaeological interest. The exhibition room is located in the former 12th century bedroom.
