| Summary: | This article provides an introduction to medieval treasuries, or collections of objects in churches, in Northern Europe.

We discuss the definitions of the “North,” and “treasury,” and as a case study, describe the history and research potential of the medieval treasury in Turku Cathedral, Finland. |
