Museo Civico Archeologico di Sarteano

The exhibits at the Museo Civico Archeologico di Sarteano provide a chronological and topographical journey through the human occupation in the Sarteano area.

Pianacce Necropolis Excavations

The lower floor of the Museo Civico Archeologico di Sarteano is dedicated to the remarkable findings from the Pianacce necropolis excavations. These excavations, which began in 2000, led to the discovery of a painted tomb from the second half of the 4th century BC. The tomb features unique scenes in Etruria, making it a significant highlight of the museum's collection.

The Tomb of the Infernal Chariot

One of the museum's most notable exhibits is the Tomb of the Infernal Chariot. While the actual tomb can only be visited on Saturdays by appointment, the museum houses a perfect real-scale reproduction of the tomb. Alongside the reproduction, visitors can also view the related ceramic set, providing a comprehensive understanding of this significant archaeological find.
