At this museum, you can also see the silver sacrament house donated by María Ana de Neoburgo, who spent the night in A Coruña on the occasion of her marriage to the last Austrian, King Charles II, in 1690.

The building, designed by the architect Manuel Gallego Jorreto to house the collection of religious silver, is centred inside around the staircase, which becomes the main element of the building, making the museum resemble a chest inside which jewels are kept.
