The Mayor, the Deputy Mayor and the Councilor for Culture of Florence visiting the Museo de' Medici.

The Deputy Mayor unveils​ the bust of Marguerite Louise d'Orléans in the 300th anniversary of her death.

The museum is housed in the palace designed by Bartolomeo Ammannati and decorated by Giorgio Vasari that Cosimo I de' Medici confiscated from Baccio Valori to make it the residence of his secretary and minister Sforza Almeni.

Thanks to the collaboration with the AMLM Foundation, the museum guards a collection of original documents, printed books, manuscripts and many autographed Medici letters from the XV to the XVIII century.

The history of the Medici family is illustrated by a collection of original works of art. In addition to the portraits of the Grand Dukes, sculptures, bronzes, medals, drawings and pastels are exhibited.​
