ETRUSCAN ACADEMY MUSEUM OF CORTONA

The Etruscan Academy Museum of the City of Cortona is an absolute must-see for all those wishing to know Cortona better. This museum gathers into a single entity the historic Etruscan Academy Museum and the Museum of the Etruscan and Roman City of Cortona. The museum is housed within Palazzo Casali, one of the city’s oldest and most notable buildings where an exhibiting space of over 6500 square feet accommodates some of the most extraordinary masterpieces produced by the Etruscan civilisation.

The new Etruscan Academy Museum of the City of Cortona also acts as a reception and information point for visitors of the city’s budding Archaeological Park and its 11 archaeological sites including the second Tumulus (burial mound) of Sodo, an imposing archaic burial (6th century B.C.) featuring a monumental stairway decorated with large sculptural groups.
Both the museum and the archaeological park will make your stay in Cortona memorable and rich in history and culture.
