Come and visit one of the most beautiful and evocative Renaissance museums in Florence.
The building, in the shape of a medieval fort, was built between the 11th and the 4th century and represented the first seat of the Florentine government and republic, which also included Dante Alighieri.
Subsequently it became a prison, as well as a place of public executions in Florence and finally it was also a convent.
The Museum that we know today houses a huge number of works of art, in most sculptures, statues and bas-reliefs by the greatest Florentine Renaissance artists such as the beautiful Terre Cotte by Luca and Andrea Della Robbia, the statues by Donatello, Mino From Fiesole, Desiderio Da Settignano, the Bottega dei Rossellino, the Formelle Bronzee for the Baptistery of Florence by L. Ghiberti and F. Brunelleschi, works by Giambologna Cellini and some early works by Michelangelo.
All this illustrated in a beautiful fourteenth-century frame, the courtyard and the rooms in fact originate from the fourteenth century.
Although considered "secondary museum" in Florence, history, sculpture and art make it one of the most fascinating Renaissance museums.

A gem museum - made better with our knowledgeable guide!
I am so glad we had our guide for this tour. Ilaria was wonderful - she was obviously so pleased to be able to tour this museum, which is not as visited as the Uffizi or Academia, but still has many beautiful works of art. She explained the history of the building and then we say many beautiful works of art as we spent an hour thirty minutes seeing everything. This museum is less visited, it felt like they had just opened it for her to show us around, a great experience. Florence is SO busy, this tour was a great escape.

High Quality as Always
We could have done the tour on our own but wouldn't have gotten nearly as much out of it had we done so. Fillipo was very knowledgeable and brought our attention to pieces we might have overlooked. It was also heavenly that it was not crowded as other museums so we could spend time examining the pieces that intrigued us. We loved it! Highly recommend.
