The Porziuncola Museum is located in the small town of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a fraction of Assisi. The Museum was founded in 1920 to enhance and preserve the works of art forgotten in the deposits over the years. The Museum was rearranged during the Jubilee of 2000 following an exhibition criterion and retracing the history of the community. The exhibition is divided into six rooms that develop different themes concerning the history, the origin of the Franciscan order and the construction of the Alessian Basilica. Among the most famous works are the "Crucifix" by Giunta Pisano, the "San Francesco and Angels" by the Master of San Francesco, the so-called "Majesty of San Damiano" attributed to the Master of the Cross of Gubbio, a table with "San Francesco ”Attributed to Cimabue and the 15th century“ Madonna del Latte ”. Of great value are a seventeenth-century altar frontal and a glazed terracotta dossal by Andrea della Robbia. Inside the museum there is the medieval Convent, which is what remains of the ancient cells of the friars. Currently the Convent is used as a venue for temporary exhibitions of sacred art.
