Cortona Museums: Museum of the Etruscan Accademy and of the Town od Cortona

The Etruscan Museum also known as Maec was funded in the XVIII century. The original core was given, as a gift to the town, by the monk Onofrio Baldelli in 1727 who gave his collection and library of the Etuscan Academy. From the studies of the Academy derived the movement of the “etruscheria” and from the evolution of this was born archaeology.

The museum is particularly rich thank to the findings discovered in the Cortona territory, or donated by the associates. Today the museum has some of the most important archaeological findings of the world.
