Vranje Diocese to establish Treasury Museum for ecclesiastical heritage

The Diocese of Vranje is set to establish a new treasury museum in the courtyard of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Vranje, preserving and showcasing the rich ecclesiastical heritage of southern Serbia.

Funding for the construction and furnishing of the facility, which will include five rooms, has been provided by Serbia’s Ministry of Culture.

According to Metropolitan Pahomije of Vranje, the treasury will feature a permanent exhibition displaying valuable artifacts from churches and monasteries throughout the Diocese of Vranje. Work on the interior is expected to be completed by the end of the year, while the official opening is planned for next year.

“The treasury will have a permanent exhibition and will display items from all churches and monasteries of the Diocese of Vranje,” Metropolitan Pahomije said.

Serbian Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković noted that the project is valued at nine million dinars and affirmed that the ministry will continue investing in cultural and heritage initiatives in the city of Vranje.
