Il Museo della Porziuncola si trova nel comune di Assisi, all’interno del percorso di visita del santuario di Santa Maria degli Angeli, l’itinerario che ripercorre i luoghi legati alla vicenda umana e spirituale di san Francesco.
Il Museo è diviso in 5 diverse sale che ospitano opere divise secondo un percorso cronologico dalla vita alla morte del santo:
- Sala A: ospita un plastico, in scala 1:25.000, che riproduce le presenze religiose nella Valle Spoletana ai tempi di San Francesco;
- Sala B: ospita la Croce di Giunta Pisano, primo esempio in Italia di “crocifisso patiens” caraterizzato da una particolare iconografia, nata nell’Oriente Bizantino tra il IX e l’XI secolo, molto cara ai Francescani che ne sono stati i principali diffusori in Europa, all’interno della sala è anche ospitata l’icona del Maestro di San Francesco ritenuta la più antica immagine del Santo che la tradizione vuole essere stata ricavata dal legno del tavolo sopra cui Francesco solitamente dormiva ;
- Sala C: questa sala ospita il pulpito ligneo detto di San Bernardino e i monogrammi del Nome di Gesù (IHS), che ricordano la pratica devozionale di San Francesco;
- Sala D: in questa sala sono conservate le testimonianze relative all’immagine di Maria alla Porziuncola come la Madonna del Latte, scultura in pietra policroma della fine del XIV – inizi del XV secolo, e la Madonna col Bambino di Sano di Pietro;
- Sala E: questa sala ospita le riproduzioni di testimonianze grafiche sullo sviluppo della Basilica, paramenti e argenteria oltre all’iconografia relativa a Francesco e ai santi dell’Ordine.
Nel percorso di visita è inserito anche l’*Antico Conventino*, ciò che resta delle celle primitive dei frati: esse restaurate di recente, sono attualmente utilizzate per ospitare mostre temporanee di arte sacra.
