Pisa - Museo dell'Opera del Duomo

This museum holds a large collection of the works of art. Here are the originals, many of which are meanwhile replaced with replicas all around he Piazza dei Miracoli, as many of them crumbled and weathered. The museum is well worth a visit, but was closed (for a year?) in autumn 2014.

A group of weathered statues, carved by Giovanni Pisano´s school. Pisano was the "Master of the Works" in Pisa for about fifteen years. His masterpiece is the pulpit of the Cathedral (see previous uploads), that he created cooperating with his father Nicola.
