Slip into the Stefano Bardini Museum, a quiet Florentine collection assembled by a legendary art dealer. Spend about 45 minutes among paintings, sculptures, weaponry and antiquities, hunting for carved grotesque faces and Renaissance chopines.
Full description
The Stefano Bardini Museum fills a modest building across the river from Florence's busiest streets with the personal collection of the antiques dealer who gave it his name. Rooms hold paintings, sculpture, weaponry, coins, religious objects and carved fragments, among them grotesque little faces on fountains and walls and several pairs of chopines, the towering Renaissance platform shoes.
Reviewers describe a calm, uncrowded stop that rewards close looking. With a short visit time and a low walking load, it suits a quiet morning or a break between larger museums.
