Museo Civico
( www.museocivicosansepolcro.it ; Via Niccolò Aggiunti 65; adult/reduced/child €8/5/3; 9.30am-1.30pm
& 2.30-7pm mid-Jun-mid-Sep, 9.30am-1pm & 2.30-6pm mid-Sep-mid-Jun) The town's flagship mu-
seum is home to a small but top-notch collection of artworks, the highlights of which are
three Piero della Francesca masterpieces: Resurrection (1458-74), the Madonna della
Misericordia polyptych (1445-56) and Saint Julian (1455-58). Piero's authorship of a
fourth work, Saint Louis of Toulouse (1460), is disputed by some art historians - see what
you think.
In the main exhibition room, look out for two works by the studio of Andrea della Rob-
bia: a polychrome terracotta called The Nativity and Adoration of the Shepherds (1485)
and a gorgeous tondo (circular sculpture) known as the Virgin and Child with Manetti
Coat of Arms (1503).
