Inside the severe building, more like a castle than a museum, you can find the originals of works of art of old ages, including four sculptures by Michelangelo, David by Donatello, works by Giambologna.

After passing through the lobby, you will find a small courtyard, reminiscent of a theatrical scene. On the walls - the coats of arms of noble families and emblems of districts of the city.
