The Museum of San Casciano first opened inside the Church of Santa Maria del Gesù, or the Suffragio, and rooms adjacent to it, in 1989. In 2008 it was enlarged with new rooms taken from the former administrative offices and other spaces inside the ancient convent of Benedictine nuns, who lived here from the 17th to the 19th century; the church, still used for services, continues to be part of the museum route. The collection of works of religious art on the ground floor was completed by sections on archaeology and primitive dwellings on the first and second floors.
