The Last Supper of Fuligno, founded in the early 14th century and later renovated around 1430, was the monumental refectory of the convent of the Franciscan Tertiaries of Blessed Angelina of Foligno.
Adorned with a 15th-century fresco depicting the Last Supper, which features Christ's Prayer in the Garden in the background, it is attributed to Pietro Perugino and was designated as a museum starting in the 19th century.

In 1855, the Egyptian Museum was opened on its premises, followed by the Etruscan Museum on March 12, 1871, and the Feroni collection in 1894. After the flood of 1966, the building served as a storage facility for damaged works of art and was subsequently reopened in 1990. The reopening brought together in the main hall frescoes by Bicci di Lorenzo (circa 1430) from other rooms of the former Fuligno convent and a wooden Crucifix by Benedetto da Maiano; these works have since been relocated to the adjacent former convent. Currently, in addition to the Assumption of the Virgin by Valerio Marucelli, which once stood on the main altar of the church of Sant'Onofrio, the museum houses the Crucifixion and other 15th and 16th-century paintings that bear witness to the spread of Perugino's style throughout Tuscany and Italy.
