Current Exhibitions in Florence: What I'd See Now
Updated October 2026
Florence has one of the strongest exhibition seasons I can remember this autumn and winter. Here are the current exhibitions in Florence that I think are worth your time, with the venue and dates for each. I update this list as shows open and close.
Dates come from each museum's official site. Check the official site for tickets and opening hours before you go.

Palazzo Strozzi: Broken
Broken. Il potere del frammento is the big autumn show at Palazzo Strozzi, organized with the National Gallery of Art in Washington. It explores the power of the fragment in art, and the courtyard has an installation by the Dutch artist Mark Manders. It runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 January 2027, open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, and until 23:00 on Thursdays. I like the Thursday late opening for a quieter visit.

The Museo Novecento, Florence's museum of 20th and 21st century art, is on Piazza Santa Maria Novella and open daily from 11:00 to 20:00. Two shows run this season.

From 3 December 2026 to 1 March 2027, Magnifico 1492 opens in the Treasury of the Grand Dukes, named for 1492, the year Lorenzo the Magnificent died. Plan your visit with my Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens guide.
