Museo Novecento

A quiet and reserved museum overlooking the Piazza Santa Maria Novella. My two daughters were able to get student discounts on the ticket so make sure to bring your student ID’s if you go. The highlight of the museum is the permanent collection on the top floor. Exhibited is a video showing Florence through cinema that I would highly recommend. Just spare a few minutes to sit and take in the splendid views of Florence with some tasteful music playing as well. This museum is a refreshing oasis of modern art in a Renaissance city.

Beautiful, quiet museum. Lots of wonderful early and mid 20th C Italian art so if you’re interested in this particular period this museum is not to be missed! The temporary exhibitions are great as well.

A lot of arts on display to get worked up on. Isn't really busy (still I was visiting on a non tourist period) the arts are mostly modern and exquisite, you need to have the interest or otherwise it's not a really pop place to visit but I'd say it's worth one time atleast. The explanations are clear and organized, my personal favorite was the last floor. It looked quite calming and sophisticated at the same time

This was my first time here. It is a wonderful space with a large open courtyard. I went to an exhibition which was well curated and presented. I found the staff very friendly and eager to help. I will certainly go to the Museo Novecento next time that I'm in Florence.

Pros: Its a quiet respite from the busy streets of Florence. Cons: Kind of expensive. The art was (mostly) not my cup of tea. The museum layout is confusing - not clear where to start and how to get to the next exhibit.

A haven of tranquility compared to the main tourist areas, this museum is well worth a visit for anyone interested in modern art.

It's a relatively small museum but it does have some good stuff in there. Affordable. It's underrated but it's nice because it's not too crowded. And it's close to the train station

Loved this modern art museum- great space. Highly recommend.

I feel like a child in this museum: a child nagged by governesses (gallery attendants), a child oppressed by the gravity of a space that doesn't merit it.

My father and I decided to try to visit Museo Novecento for a nice afternoon while he was visiting me from the USA because I am studying in Florence for a year. I would love to say that the museum and its staff were lovely but that was not the case. My dad who is a physician has his vaccination record on two different cards because he forgot his card his second time. This has not been a problem for him using these two cards while ENTERING THE EUROPEAN UNION and entering several other museums and restaurants in Florence and Rome in the past week. Most importantly this proof of vaccination has been more than enough for him to keep his job as a life-saving frontline Covid DOCTOR at a hospital that requires vaccinated employees. The museum attendant said that he could not accept the card because he didn't like the way it was written. We both promptly left after this telling the attendant how can he enter Italy and not enter a small, modern art museum?! Since this museum doesn't accept fully vaccinated, masked patrons, they don't need to worry about accepting my money or my friends' money in the future. I have a popular travel blog and would have told others to visit the museum but now definitely not. 5 minutes later, we entered Santa Maria Novella with his CDC card with absolutely no problem. It is just stressful to not know which museums you can visit as a fully vaccinated visitor and which ones you can not even being fully vaccinated and complying with all the rules.
