[2025 Florence Attraction] Travel Guide for Opera del Duomo Museum (Updated Jun)

#Sign up for June Hotel Tester 2025 The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo is located in Florence, Italy. It is a museum dedicated to the collection and display of original artworks from the Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) and its ancillary buildings (such as the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower). The museum was founded in 1891 and is more accessible after a comprehensive renovation in 2015. If you stay for two days, the Giotto Pass is a good deal, including the Giotto Bell Tower, the Baptistery, the Museum and the Crypt of Santa Reparata. If you have enough energy, you can buy a full ticket to the dome of the Cathedral. The most famous is Michelangelo's "Pietà", a sculpture originally created for his own tomb. And Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise": originally the east door of the Baptistery, it has now been moved to the museum for exhibition. It now has more than 750 works of art, covering 720 years of history, and is known as the world's most important collection of sculptures.

#florence #museums #duomo #brunelleschidome I have purchased a Giotto pass while in Florence with access to the Giotto Tower which allows one to admire the magnificent Duomo dome as close as it gets. It also includes the visit to the Duomo Museum which I highly recommend. It is full of incredible textbook quality artwork and tells you about the lives and works of people who participated in building this architectural masterpiece. It has a separate area dedicated to the Dome and has a nice little film in Italian and English about how Brunelleschi was selected to become the architect.
