It is housed in the Brigidi and Buonsignori palaces in the city's center: the former, built in the 14th century, it is traditionally identified as the Pannocchieschi family's residence.

This is chock-a-block with art, taking you from the 13th century to the 17th, which is an interesting evolution to observe. There are A LOT of Madonna and Bambino depictions. For someone not raised...

We remember one thing. The enormous amount of madonna col bambino.

Pretty plain, poorly lit pieces. Will be of interest to some, but if altar pieces from the 14-17th century aren't your thing, I'd pass on this museum.
