The museum collects and preserves masterpieces and memories from the monuments of the Piazza del Duomo<\/strong>, works from time to time replaced with other more “current” or copies.<\/p>\n

Masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance<\/h2>\n

They are an expression of the magnificence of Pisa starting from the 12th century: in the powerful and rich Maritime Republic of that period, different artistic cultures met, from the transalpine to the Islamic ones. Nicola Pisano<\/strong> started up a new season of experimentation in sculpture<\/strong> that had in itself all the seeds that would germinate in the great art of the Renaissance.<\/p>\n

The new face of the restored museum<\/h2>\n

\"museo<\/p>\n

The museum, reopened to the public in 2019 after a long restoration. has been enriched with new restored works: it spreads over 3000 square meters<\/strong> inside, arranged on two floors<\/strong>, and on a part of the outer porch. The 380 works on display<\/strong> are divided into 26 sections<\/strong> that make use of a special didactic apparatus and multimedia stations created by the PERCRO<\/strong><\/a> Robotics Lab of the Scuola Sant’Anna.<\/p>\n

The museum is closed by the splendid cloister<\/strong> that overlooks the Leaning Tower<\/strong><\/a> and that preserves on the ground floor the statues of the Madonna and Child, the Evangelists and the Prophets sculpted by Giovanni Pisano for the Baptistery.<\/p>\n
