Information and ticket booking for the Bargello National Museum, Florence, Italy
The Uffizi has the paintings, the Bargello has the sculpture. There you are - no need to buy a guidebook now, is there? Invariably less crowded than the big-draw venues of this impossibly artistically-rich city, the Bargello, one of the oldest buildings in Florence, is home to works by Michelangelo, the della Robbias, and Donatello.
Once prison, police headquarters and the site of public executions, this Gothic palace first opened as the national museum (Museo Nazionale del Bargello) in 1865, displaying a large collection of Gothic and Renaissance sculptures of the 14th to 17th centuries.
The Bargello is open all year round from 08.15AM until 02.00PM (closed in the afternoon, in other words). You'll need to check your calendar for closing days as the Bargello is closed on the second and fourth Monday of every month, as well as the first, third and fifth Sunday of each month (we've made things easier by blocking these days on the booking calendar).
As with many venues in Italy, there are often special exhibitions running, and the ticket price will reflect this. For 2010 there is 'I grandi bronzi del Battistero. Rustici e Leonardo.' running from the 10th of September until the 10th of January 2011. The exhibition is the first to celebrate the sculpture of Giovanfrancesco Rustici; his group for Florence's Baptistery saw the help of his friend Leonardo da Vinci. There is a brief exhbition running from the the 5th of March until the 6th of June 2010 which is dedicated to the museums's first curator, Igino Benvenuto, but there is no increase in price for this.
There are reduced price tickets available for EU citizens under the age of 18 or over the age of 65, as well as for EU citizens between the ages of 18 and 25.
