Architecture

The building is a plain fourteenth-century mendicant convent -- brick, low cloisters, a single wide church -- and the museum has deliberately left it that way rather than dressing it as a gallery. Rooms are recognisably cells, refectory and chapter house.

The church of Santa Caterina is now the main display space, a long unaisled hall which suits the reassembled Ursula cycle: the panels are hung in sequence at something close to their original spacing.

The Cappella degli Innocenti keeps its Tomaso frescoes in place, on the walls they were painted on, which makes an instructive contrast with the detached cycle next door.
