State Museum of Medieval and Modern Art, Art museum in Arezzo, Italy.

The State Museum of Medieval and Modern Art occupies a Renaissance palace with about 20 rooms displaying paintings, sculptures, and crafted objects arranged chronologically across three floors. The collection spans from the medieval period through the modern era, showing the artistic evolution of the Tuscan region.

The museum is housed in the Renaissance Palazzo Bruni-Ciocchi, built for the Bruni family, probably by the architect Bernardo Rossellino. The building later passed to the Ciocchi del Monte and then the Barbolani di Montauto families, and in 1816 it was acquired by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany before passing to the Italian State. The museum was decided on in the 1950s and inaugurated in 1972.

The core of the collection comes from the Fraternita dei Laici, a charitable association founded in 1262, and from the Pinacoteca comunale, which absorbed art taken from suppressed religious houses under nineteenth-century laws. Two rooms recreate the Mario Salmi bequest as a house museum, and the maiolica section keeps pharmacy jars from the Monastery of Camaldoli.

The exhibition occupies all three floors of Palazzo Bruni-Ciocchi, entered from the street in the centre of Arezzo. The route is chronological, from 13th-century panels on the ground floor to 19th-century Macchiaioli paintings on the second, so start at the bottom and work upward. The Salmi collection rooms on the first floor are arranged as a house museum.

The museum houses one of Italy's largest collections of maiolica, featuring a glazed terracotta altarpiece created by Andrea della Robbia. These colorful ceramic pieces showcase the skilled craftsmanship that was highly valued during the Renaissance.
