The Florentine Civic Museums

The task of the Florentine Civic Museums is to conserve and enhance the city’s art heritage, making it available for public enjoyment in the broadest and most democratic manner possible. They represent a public service, with cultural and social functions, and a right of the citizens.

The Florentine Civic Museums are made up of a wealth and exceptional variety of collections mostly housed in ancient buildings: the Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Maria Novella, the Fondazione Salvatore Romano in the refectory of Santo Spirito, the Museo Stefano Bardini and the Museo Novecento situated in the ancient Spedale delle Leopoldine in Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
