Etruscan Academy Museum of the City of Cortona

The Etruscan Academy Museum spans four floors of Palazzo Casali, featuring exhibits of ancient artifacts, Egyptian collections, and regional archaeological discoveries.

Founded in 1727 by local noblemen, the museum emerged from a collection of Etruscan artifacts and expanded through continuous donations from Academy members.

The museum exhibits the Tabula Cortonensis, an Etruscan bronze text from the 2nd century BC, alongside paintings from Tuscan masters and Egyptian funeral items.

The museum operates daily from 10:00 to 19:00 between April and October, while winter hours run from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17:00.

The collection includes a rare Etruscan bronze lamp and a funeral boat from 2000 BC, representing ancient burial practices and craftsmanship.
