Museo dell'Opera del Duomo

The museum contains 28 rooms across three floors, presenting medieval and Renaissance artworks from Florence Cathedral in chronological and thematic arrangements.

Founded in 1891, the museum underwent substantial renovations until 2015, expanding into the former Teatro Nuovo building to accommodate its growing collection.

The collection includes Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, Donatello's Magdalene, and numerous sculptures that originally adorned the Cathedral's exterior and interior spaces.

The museum opens daily from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM, except for the first Tuesday of each month when it closes for maintenance work.

The exhibition spaces replicate the Cathedral's architecture, allowing visitors to see artworks positioned as they were originally placed on the building.
