Located in the famous monumental complex designed by Brunelleschi, the Museo degli Innocenti tells visitors the story of six centuries of commitment to the protection and promotion of children's rights. The accurate study of the history of the institution and of its cultural and artistic heritage resulted in the creation of this unique museum which combines art, architecture and history of childhood.
The permanent exhibition is structured on three levels: the historical one, where visitors can enjoy total immersion in the fascinating atmosphere of a few centuries ago when the institute was the orphanage of the city of Florence; the architectural one, with the splendid courtyards designed by Filippo Brunelleschi; the artistic one, with a renowned collection located in the recently restructured gallery.
The eighty works on display include masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Bartolomeo di Giovanni, Piero di Cosimo, Neri di Bicci, Luca and Andrea della Robbia and Giovanni del Biondo.
