The Diocesan Museum of Gubbio is located in the heart of the medieval city. The museum is located in the ancient Palazzo dei Canonici near the Cathedral. The Palace was built in 1100 and represents one of the most interesting architectures in all of Umbria. The building preserves the original artifacts, the rooms rich in details, glimpses and panoramas over the Umbrian plain. The Palace is the seat of the Diocesan Museum from the beginning of the twentieth century to today. The Museum houses a very rich art collection that traces the two thousand year history of the Diocese. Of great interest is the "Botte dei Canonici" a large container of fifteenth-century origin. La Botte has been at the center of numerous debates related to the oenology of the place. The archaeological section is made up of Roman and early medieval finds found in the Umbrian territory. An important part of the collection is made up of paintings and sculptures from the thirteenth, fourteenth and Renaissance centuries. Among all the tables painted by Mello, the works of the workshop of Ottaviano Nelli and the splendid fresco by Taddeo di Bartolo depicting the scenes of the Passion of Christ stand out. The visit ends with the Renaissance and Flemish cope which is part of the collection of liturgical furnishings.
