The Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca, in the medieval Palazzo Casali on Piazza Signorelli, is one of the most important Etruscan museums in Italy. The collection runs from the 7th-century BC Etruscan civilization through Roman, medieval, and Renaissance material, ending with a small selection of 18th- and 19th-century paintings.
The standouts are the large 4th-century BC bronze chandelier — a complex 50kg piece of casting with figures of gorgons, sirens, and animals around the rim — and the Tabula Cortonensis. Allow 90 minutes. Closed Tuesdays.
