Museo Bellini, Renaissance art museum in Florence, Italy
Museo Bellini is an art museum housed in a historic palazzo on Lungarno Soderini in Florence. Its collections include paintings, bronze sculptures, wooden carvings, and glazed terracotta pieces spanning different periods of Italian artistic tradition.
The present building is an early-20th-century work by architect Adolfo Coppedè, not an old Soderini residence. The Bellini family has worked as antiquarians since the 18th century, and their collection is shown here in rotation. After Luigi Bellini died in May 2021, his heirs had not agreed on the collection's future, and visits were suspended indefinitely; the ground-floor exhibition space still hosts contemporary art shows.
