Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce, Art museum in Santa Croce Basilica complex, Florence, Italy.
The Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce displays sacred art collections, paintings, and sculptures within the ancient refectory of the Franciscan complex.
The museum opened its doors on November 2, 1900, under Guido Carocci's direction to preserve artworks from the Franciscan convent through centuries.
The museum houses significant Renaissance works, including the Crucifix by Cimabue and The Last Supper fresco by Taddeo Gaddi in the refectory.
Visitors can access the museum through a combined ticket that includes entrance to the basilica, cloisters, and Pazzi Chapel.
The partially restored Cimabue Crucifix stands as a permanent reminder of the devastating 1966 Florence flood that reached 5.2 meters in height.
