Why go
When accessible, the collection lets you compare the city's painters across several generations rather than seeing isolated works in churches. Duccio, Simone Martini and Ambrogio Lorenzetti provide strong points of comparison, from devotional panels to increasingly expressive figures and settings. It is an art-first stop that deserves more time than a quick pass through the centre.
What to look for
- Gold-ground panels show a distinctive strength of medieval Sienese painting.
- Works associated with Duccio, Simone Martini and Ambrogio Lorenzetti invite comparison.
Useful to know
- Check the museum's official reopening notice before planning an interior visit.
- Once open, allow around 90 minutes to compare artists rather than trying to see every panel.
