Museo Stefano Bardini

Stefano Bardini Museum

The museum was named after his creator, the antiquarian Stefano Bardini. The palace was purchased and renovated by Bardini himself in the 1881. The museum houses an eclectic collection of more than 3600 works, including paintings, sculptures, armor, musical instruments, ceramics, coins, medals and antique furniture. Among the most important works: the Charity of Tino di Camaino, the Madonna and Child with San Giovannino by Benedetto da Maiano, the San Michele Arcangelo by Antonio del Pollaiolo, the Madonna dei Cordai by Donatello, the Atlas by Guercino.

Two of the rooms at the ground floor have been dedicated to the city of Florence and its history, with some emblematic works taken from the street: the Cinghiale by Pietro Tacca from the Porcellino fountain, the Diavolino by Giambologna from the crossroads between via dei Vecchietti and via Strozzi, the golden Marzocco from the architrave of Palazzo Vecchio.
