    This art museum is nice but very small. Not something to go out of your way for, but if you're in town definitely stop in for a few minutes to see the model of the city as it was around the year 1300.

    It is free 3D recreation of the town as 1300. It says that 2 brothers made it in 2 years. Must see place. Do not forget to support it by buying some nice gifts to your loved ones.

    Very cool model of the entire San Gimignano village. Free entry. Helps you get a feel for the scope and also explains the tower houses and how they worked. Definitely worth taking a look at!

    It is a informative historical museum. The model of the town and the model depicting the use of the interiors of the towers were especially interesting. There is a small gift shop as you enter that has some interesting souvenirs.

    If you love miniature architectural models, it is a must. Probably would have been best with a guide to walk you through the history being presented.

    Amazing 3D model of the city! A must see!!

  • 5/5 Kenny S. 8 months ago on Google
    Best way to see the city is its full shape! What’s a better option when you can’t fly? The visit is free but you can donate in the box there.

    An immpresive model with great attention to details of San Gimignano village in the middle ages. There is also a small souvenir store. Entrance is free, but there is option for donations.

  • 5/5 Ryan S. 6 years ago on Google
    Small city that can be explored in a day. It is very well preserved and is just beautiful. It is a must visit

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 6 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised to find free entry to view the miniature clay replica of the town - well worth stopping in

  • 5/5 Terry B. 5 years ago on Google
    If you have ever thought about old Tuscany this is like a dream. Beautiful architecture with a human scale. It just feels good to wander around this hilltop city. Outstanding.

  • 5/5 Tassilo K. 3 years ago on Google
    The museum is a little off the main tourist road up the slope. This is probably why this great museum is not overcrowded, although it does not cost any admission. But for a donation, young and old can marvel at a bombastic miniature version of the city from around 1300. Impressive above all because it comes very close to its current state.
