The Bargello Museum Virtual Tour - Florence
Details
REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Click here to register
Step inside one of Florence’s most extraordinary museums: the Museo del Bargello, a treasure chest of Renaissance sculpture and a landmark of Florentine history. Once a medieval palace, then a prison, and today a world-renowned art museum, the Bargello holds masterpieces that changed the course of Western art.
On this virtual tour, we’ll explore the museum’s magnificent halls and courtyards, discovering iconic works by Donatello, Michelangelo, Cellini, and Giambologna. We’ll admire Donatello’s revolutionary David, the first free-standing male nude of the Renaissance, and his elegant St. George, a symbol of youthful courage and Florentine pride. We’ll move on to Michelangelo’s expressive Bacchus and his powerful Brutus, sculptures that reveal the genius and emotional depth of his early years.
This virtual journey will reveal how the Bargello, once a seat of power and justice, transformed into one of Florence’s most captivating museums. Through stories, images, and historical insights, you’ll experience the atmosphere of a place where medieval austerity meets Renaissance brilliance.
Join us and let the magic of the Bargello Museum carry you into the heart of Florence’s artistic soul — all from the comfort of your home.
