Interesting display space in old church. A substantial exhibition devoted to Marini, but a bit steep at 10 euros. The repetition of a handful of themes suggests that Marini may have struggled for inspiration.
Was a very nice and unique museum, it has a nice collection of artwork, sculptures, sketches, statues and paintings. I really enjoyed my time here; the museum has a very nice layout and its open atmosphere is enjoyable. I would definitely recommend checking out this museum when visiting Florence.
Such a stunning building, the architecture itself is part of the sculpture(and vice versa). As an act to help preserve it, go visit!
This museum is very worth the visit, the space is quiet and beautifully designed, it's a good combination of elements: the location itself is transformed from a church to be aligned with Marini's work, the collections of sculptures and painting from Marini himself and the Ruecellai chapel which is an emulation of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalum. The museum staff is very helpful and enthusiastic about the history of the building and the chapel, which is always good to see!
A hidden gem inside Florence. The architecture inside is beautiful, and the museum is laid out very well. I loved looking at Marinis work - the museum introduced me to him.
