Museo Novecento, in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century Italian art and Florence’s modern cultural life. The historic former hospital provides a measured setting for permanent displays and temporary exhibitions. From Dalmazia, Tram T1 reaches the Valfonda/Santa Maria Novella area in about 12 minutes under normal conditions.
How to experience it
T1 to Valfonda makes this an easy first or last museum of the day. Check the temporary exhibition programme before travelling.
Before you go
Do not try to see everything. Choose a small group of works or rooms, pause for the architecture and leave enough energy for the walk back into the city. Official sites remain the safest source for tickets, temporary closures, accessibility and bag rules.
