Palazzo Giuli Rosselmini Gualandi si trova a Pisa sul Lungarno Gambacorti, nei pressi della longobarda chiesa di Santa Cristina. È diventato recentemente noto come Palazzo Blu per via del restaurato colore dell'intonacatura e del nome del centro museale costruito in alcune delle sale interne.
Le prime tracce risalgono all'alto medioevo (VIII secolo), sotto forma di insediamento rurale nei pressi della citata chiesa, vicino all'unico ponte, chiamato Ponte alle Pietre che permetteva l'accesso alla città dai territori a sud del fiume Arno, percorrendo l'antica Via Emilia Scauri (le attuali vie San Martino e Toselli). Durante i lavori di restauro a cura delle Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pisa, che lo ha acquistato dai Conti Giuli, da cui il nome, è stata riportata alla luce parte dell'antica pavimentazione della via, a sestini di cotto posti a lisca di pesce, con relativo marciapiede, databili intorno al XII secolo e una possente struttura muraria, facente parte di una torre difensiva, con la caratteristica apertura ad arco ogivale, realizzata in pietra verrucana e databile intorno agli ultimi anni dell'XI secolo.

The Escher exhibit (temporary, currently on now) is phenomenal, a must-see for any fan. Admission is about 12 euros, includes a good audio guide. A really good break from the endless procession of Middle Ages and Renaissance paintings as well. The permanent exhibitions are far less unique, but only an euro more and still solid for what they are-- beautifully furnished building, with a range of paintings from different periods. I particularly enjoyed the room of post-Macchiaioli artwork. I love learning the local history and there was an interesting-looking exhibit about the student movement in the 60s as well, but it was unfortunately in Italian only.

Amazing artwork, the history of more then seven centuries shown in an amazing exhibition. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a little bit of culture.

Interesting place showing a great variety of art. The temporary exhibitions give this place some charm and seem to change quite often. The entrance fee is really low (reduction for students). The place is bigger than expected at first and guides are offered in various languages in each rooms of the palace !
