Florence Museum websites

If you find yourself staying in one of our apartments in Tuscany and need to plan some museum visits, these couple of websites may come in handy:

MuseiFirenze Musei is a network of thirteen state museums in Florence (Accademia Gallery, Uffizi Gallery, Palatine Gallery, Silver Museum, Gallery of Modern Art and Costume Gallery, Medici Chapels, San Marco Museum, Bargello Museum, Cenacolo di Andrea del Sarto, Davanzati Museum, Boboli Gardens, Archaeological Museum, Museo dell'Opificio delle Pietre Dure) housing works of art from most of the collections of the Signori who ruled Florence (the Medici and the Lorraine families) as well as some works originally belonging to ecclesiastical bodies that fell into the hands of the State as a result of the 19th-century suppression of religious bodies. The site has location information, opening times, ticket prices, etc.



PolomusealeAnother website is the Polo Museale Fiorentino, a repetition of the one above (the state museums), this site is again run by the local government of Florence it seems.


And you can find tons of info on the church and museum of Orsanmichele at Orsanmichele.net
