The Palazzo degli Oddi, then Clarelli Marini, today House Museum is located in the heart of the city of Perugia in the area where there were already in the medieval era homes of the family, in one of the five most important streets leading to the main square. The palace was built around the middle of the sixteenth century and was inhabited until the middle of nineteenh century. The last owner, the Marchioness Barbara Marini Clarelli, painter, restorer and expert in local history, for testamentary disposition wanted it to be set up a foundation that would combine his name with that of her beloved husband, the famous art historian Francesco Santi in such a way that the Palace could be made accessible and could become a place of study for the history of degli Oddi family, one of the oldest Italian nobility that significantly had a significant influence on the history of Perugia during the Middle Ages. Today the House Museum still bears historical furnishings.

Reviewed By juanmiguelk2018 - San Jose, Costa Rica
An art museum mainly about Medieval and Renaissance art (mainly religious) and some Baroque art. Has amazing art by Perugino and Piero della Francesca, most sees,even if focusing on the main artists will mean a short 1 and half hour visit. It is true is has few explanations, and fewer in english.The explanations are way too technical (I speak italian) Not for first timers, for avid museum goers.

The Diocesan Museum, established in 1941, preserves and valorizes the outstanding artistical heritage of the Diocese and the Cathedral, from the point of view of both its historical and religious importance. The architectural context, merged with the artworks' beauty, completes this meaningsful spiritual experience. The Crypt is one of the places of workship, where st. Francis used to go and pray.
