Florence…. as it used to be!
Thursday, November 26th, 2009
The Firenze Come Era museum is a true hidden gem in Florence.
It is a really small museum sharing space in the Convent of the Oblate with the city public library (awesome library – go to the last floor to the cafe and enjoy the view of the Duomo as you munch on a panino sandwich).
The name of the museum – literally “Florence as it was” – indicates the nature of the collection. Divided into two sections, the prehistoric/Roman history of Florence on one wing and maps and visual representations of the city on the other, the museum visually shows how Florence used to be in past times.
