Museum of Orsanmichele, Religious art museum in central Florence, Italy
The Museum of Orsanmichele occupies the upper floors of a Gothic building that combines architectural elements from its past as both a grain market and church.
The structure dates back to 1337 when architects Francesco Talenti, Neri di Fioravante, and Benci di Cione transformed the previous building after a destructive fire.
The museum displays original sculptures commissioned by Florentine trade guilds, including works by masters such as Donatello, Ghiberti, and Giambologna from the 15th century.
Located at Via Calzaiuoli in Florence, the museum underwent extensive renovations from 2020 to 2024, introducing new lighting systems and display platforms.
The fourteen exterior niches contain replicas of the original statues, which were placed inside the museum to protect them from environmental damage.
