Gaio Cilnio Mecenate State Archaeological Museum
Gaio Cilnio Mecenate State Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Arezzo, Italy
The National Archaeological Museum of Arezzo spans 26 rooms across two floors inside a fourteenth-century monastery building atop a Roman amphitheater foundation.
The museum, established in 1937, bears the name of Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, an Etruscan nobleman from Arezzo who served as advisor to Emperor Augustus.
The collection includes Etruscan jewelry, Greek pottery, Roman sculptures, and the largest assembly of terra sigillata vases produced in Arezzo between 50 BC and 50 AD.
Located at Via Margaritone 10 near the train station, the museum provides wheelchair access and documented visitor numbers reaching 19,424 people in 2018.
The museum houses a Greek crater by Euphronios depicting Hercules battling Amazons and a Roman medallion featuring male portraiture through chrysography technique.
