Rothko Sets Palazzo Strozzi Attendance Record as 2027 Programme Takes Shape

More than 300,000 people visited the exhibition, the highest total in the foundation’s 20-year history.

The plan will coordinate restoration work and gradually open more sections of the medieval walls to visitors.

The Uffizi, Boboli Gardens, Galleria dell’Accademia are among the state-run cultural sites scheduled to open on 15 August.

The two-year programme includes major works across the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens.

The rare Renaissance sculpture will be on display at the institute’s museum until 30 September 2026.

Major loans from Florence will form the core of the first exhibition entirely dedicated to the Renaissance master.

The work has restored Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, upgraded the basilica’s lighting and fire safety systems.

A feature published by the New York Times is drawing international attention to one of Florence’s least-visited Michelangelo masterpieces.

More than 150 works from the Whitney Museum of American Art will trace the career of one of the leading figures of 20th-century American painting.

The reorganisation separates entry and exit routes and restores one of the palace’s most important historic spaces.
