Найбільший музей Флоренції The largest museum in Florence

Rating 8110

The original house was lined with rust and looked like a fortress; was located on a slope, and the courtyard was turned into a garden. But Pitty did not have enough money to complete the palace. Niccolo Machiavelli pointed out that Pitti did not stop at anything to raise money for construction and accepted gifts, bribes, even criminals for work. The Medici family won the political and financial confrontation, seizing the palazzo and forcing Pitti to emigrate.
Today, the Palazzo is the largest museum in Florence. It houses: the Palatine Gallery; Gallery of Contemporary Art: works by Italian painters of the XIX century (especially masterpieces of the Florentine group "Machiaioli"); Museum of Silver: there is a unique collection of vases by Lorenzo the Magnificent, ancient Roman amphorae, samples from Byzantium and Venice; Porcelain Museum; Museum of crews and carriages; Costume Gallery (Italy's largest museum of fashion history).
To get to the palace, you need to stand in a long queue, or book tickets in advance online.
