Art and History in Pisa

Pisa’s cultural landscape is anchored by the Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the Romanesque Pisa Cathedral and the Camposanto Monumentale's frescoes. Art collections range from medieval and Renaissance masterpieces at the National Museum of San Matteo to Keith Haring’s modern 'Tuttomondo' mural and rotating exhibitions at Palazzo Blu. Specialized institutions further showcase the city’s history, including the Museum of Ancient Ships, the Museum of Computing Machinery, and the National Museum of the Royal Palace.
