In the former chapter house of Disentis Abbey, sacred works of art that are otherwise hidden away in sacristies are on display. The oldest altarpieces, vestments and statues date back to around 1200. A second room provides an overview of the history of Disentis Abbey. Witnesses include the early medieval stucco fragments, the first mitre of a Disentis abbot and a tome with Gregorian chant melodies. The exhibition also focuses on textiles with treasures from the 14th to 19th centuries and folkloristic objects from Christian customs, from the Christmas crib to the burial cross.

The gallery floor of the monastery museum houses the natural history exhibition with rocks, minerals, habitats, animals and plants from the Disentis region.
