About Palazzo Strozzi

The Palazzo Strozzi is an outstanding example of a Florentine city palace from the early Renaissance. It was built for Filippo Strozzi, probably to designs by Benedetto da Maiano, and its architecture takes its cue from the Palazzo Medici Riccardi. The Strozzi family owned the building until 1937, when it passed to the state. Today the palace serves as a secondary seat of the Scuola Normale Superiore and houses the art museum Centro di cultura contemporanea Strozzina. Visitors can see regularly changing exhibitions on the piano nobile, showcasing works ranging from Old Masters to contemporary artists such as Marina Abramović and Bill Viola.
