Michelangelo's father was mayor of Caprese for two years between 1474 and 1475. Michelangelo was born in this period and this is why the Palazzo dei Podestà is the center of this museum dedicated to the famous artist. In addition to this building, the Corte Alta and Palazzo Clusini are also part of the museum spaces. The collection mostly features plaster casts of sculptures created by Michelangelo. Very interesting is a reproduction of a series of frescoes commissioned by Michelangelo's great-grandson and depicting 23 scenes from the artist's life.
