The kitchen contains didactic panels about the art and history
of the Cathedral and the Cloisters. The cellarer´s
chamber treasures a collection of smitheries from the temple
and other Navarrese parish churches. Among the most remarkable
are the great Crucifix by Juan Bazcardo, from the 17 C and
some chests along with ivory objects.
Visitors can also view the Reliquary of the Holy Sepulchre,
from the 13 C; and that of the Lignum Crucis, from the 14
C. Both reliquaries, created in the Gothic style, are decorated
with enamelings. The Gospel book from the 16 C has silver
flyleaves. The museum also features a Processional Cross
of San Juan Baptiser; an ivory crucifix from the 18 C, from
the sacristy of the Cathedral; and the Reliquary of Santa
Espina, from the 15 C. There are silver processional crosses
from the 14 and 18 C. The painting collection includes Retables
by Peralta, Van Dyck and the German Gothic "Las Navas".
The visit to the museum gives access to the Cloister, the
Barbazana Chapel and the Cathedral, where stands the sepulchre
of Carlos III the Noble and his queen, Doña Leonor.
The temple also contains the Romanesque image of Santa María
la Real, and many retables and sculptures.
