Review:

Krippenmuseum Muri-Gries is the German for crib museum, an accurate descriptor of this exhibition within the Muri convent in Bolzano. The exhibit is located inside the Romanesque tower of the Gries Castle, which forms part of the Muri-Gries abbey building complex. The display cases within the crib collection depict diorama images from both the Christmas and Passion stories. More than 40 religious figurines are used to construct these still lifes. The artifacts found in the display come from throughout the South Tyrol region of Italy, and the pictures span the centuries, with some dating all the way back to the 1700s.
