Again set up in 2000, on the occasion of the Jubilee, the Museum was enriched with new materials and acquires new spaces, such as the extraordinary archaeological path, which contains the remains of Etruscan buildings - Roman acropolis of the city, and that winds for about one kilometer below the cloisters and the Cathedral. The museum collections include important illuminated manuscripts, paintings placeable in a chronological period between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries, including note is the altarpiece of S. Onofrio Luca Signorelli, and sculptures by prominent artists, such as Arnolfo di Cambio (Head of deacon) and Agostino di Duccio represented by a recently re-composition altar (altar of Piety).
