Archaeological Museum and Art of Maremma
About This Museum
What truly sets the Archaeological Museum and Art of Maremma apart is its profound sense of place, weaving together the ancient Etruscan world with the spiritual fervor of the medieval in one seamless narrative. You move from rooms filled with intricate Etruscan cinerary urns, their terracotta surfaces still vibrant with scenes of daily life and myth, into the hushed atmosphere of the medieval gallery. Here, the collection is dominated by breathtaking panel paintings—gold-leaf backgrounds illuminating the severe, beautiful faces of saints and Madonnas from the Sienese school. It’s a journey that feels less like walking through a museum and more like tracing the deep, spiritual roots of this specific patch of Tuscany.
Collection Highlights
The star artifacts are undoubtedly the hauntingly personal Etruscan funerary sculptures and a series of 13th-century painted crucifixes that seem to radiate a quiet, powerful emotion even after centuries.
