MUDAS Museo Diocesano
Expression of the religious and cultural vitality of the Aretine territory, a rich treasure trove of precious artistic testimonies.
Young by birth, the MUDAS Museum boasts the presence of works by great artists dear to the people of Arezzo, as well as liturgical and venerative objects tied to the religious sentiment of the Aretine Diocese. The Museum showcases its collection in the new location: the five rooms of the old Diocesan Archive at the Bishop’s Palace. The exhibition offers a small but profound excursion into the history of art from the 12th century to the present day, including works by Andrea di Nerio, Rossellino, Bartolomeo della Gatta, Giorgio Vasari, and Giuliano Vangi.
Its collection began to take shape in 1950 within the corpus of works exhibited in the renowned Exhibition of Sacred Art of the Diocese from the 11th to the 18th century at the Municipal Palace of Arezzo. The creators and promoters of this undertaking were Roberto Longhi and Mario Salmi, distinguished art historians. It was on that occasion that Bishop Emanuele Mignone decided to establish a museum with works from the Cathedral, the Chapter, and the Bishop’s Palace, as well as others from churches that were no longer in use or not well supervised.
On April 21, 2011, with the exhibition “Giorgio Vasari, Saint is Beautiful,” the Museum took up residence at the Bishop’s Palace, by decision of Archbishop Riccardo Fontana. To this day, the life of the collection continues to manifest itself through legacies and donations made by artists gravitating around the city.
