National Museum of San Matteo, which is housed in the Benedictine Monastery, features a group of paintings from the 12th- to 18th- centuries, and a rich collection of sculpture from the Pisano School.

This museum is stupendous. Fantastic collection, in a beatiful setting, and mostly very well lit.

The painting of St Ursula saving Pisa from floods was the star for The collection of early Italian art here seriously rivals the Uffizi. In fact, if you can forget the fact that many items are by provinicial artists rather than the Big Names, it eclipses the best galleries.
