The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo di Prato is located in the historic center of the city. The Museum was founded in 1967 and is housed within the rooms of the Bishop's Palace. The Museum was created with the aim of conserving and promoting objects from the Cathedral of Santo Stefano. The collection includes paintings from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century by artists of the caliber of Carlo Dolci, Antonio Susini, Alessandro Franchi and Mario Balassi. Of great interest is the hall of Donatello's Pulpit which houses the famous Pulpit made by Donatello and Michelozzo. The collection is enriched by archaeological finds concerning the Etruscan and Lombard period. Inside the museum it is possible to admire the Romanesque cloister and the chapel of Santo Stefano. The cloister in white marble and green serpentine is characterized by zoomorphic capitals attributed to the Master of Cabestany. Instead, the chapel of Santo Stefano preserves the frescoes of the mid-fifteenth century made by Pietro and Antonio Miniato. The Madonna with Child, the Stoning of St. Stephen, the Last Supper and the Prayer in the garden of olives are depicted here.
