After its initial layout from the 1930s, the museum was modified several times throughout the years and the current version was inaugurated on February 9, 2006.
The art collection was left as per Bandini’s legal will to the Chapter of the Duomo of Fiesole “for the benefit and good of the public” as it states in his will.
