Established in 1991 thanks to the important legacy of works of the Cassioli family, originally from Asciano, it was rearranged in 2007 with the addition of numerous works in storage at the Art Institute of Siena which make this museum the only dedicated location to Sienese painting of the 19th century.

In fact, alongside the paintings by Amos Cassioli, there are works by students of the Academy directed by Luigi Mussini. Of particular interest is also the section of graphics and sculpture.

In addition to a large number of paintings by Amos Cassioli, author of the battle scenes of the famous Sala del Risorgimento in Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, you can appreciate some interesting paintings of his son Giuseppe, characterized by a modern trait that favors the color spots over well-defined details.

The Museum also adequately houses interesting works by: Angelo Visconti, Cesare Maccari, Pietro Aldi and others, all brilliant students of the 19th century Sienese Academy of painting.

In summary:
60 canvases and 268 drawings by Amos Cassioli and his son Giuseppe
40 works by various authors from the Art Institute of Siena
