The Porziuncola Museum is an integral part of the itinerary for pilgrims and tourists who visit the memories of Saint Francis at the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli from the Porziuncola, the Transito, and the Chapel of the Roses, offering a pause for deeper understanding of these places through archival documents, models, and graphic reconstructions. The rooms chronologically host the works that have made the Museum famous.
In particular: the Crucifix by Giunta Pisano (1236), the first example in Italy of a crucifix patiens on a monumental cross; Saint Francis and Angels by the Master of Saint Francis (13th century); a panel depicting Saint Francis attributed to Cimabue; the Madonna del Latte, a splendid polychrome stone sculpture from the late 14th century; a fine glazed terracotta altarpiece, a masterwork by Andrea della Robbia (1475).
Inside the museum, it is also possible to visit the so-called Conventino, what remains of the original cells of the friars: recently restored, they are currently used to host temporary exhibitions of contemporary sacred art.
