Biccherne Museum
Painted covers from Siena’s public accounts turn the State Archive into a compact visual history of the medieval republic. It suits visitors drawn to civic records as well as painted art.
These painted covers belonged to public account books, so they join images to the records of Siena’s government. The collection offers a compact way to connect the republic’s administration with its visual culture. Treat it as a distinct archive museum stop, rather than another church painting gallery.
