This 15th-century Renaissance mansion was built for wealthy merchant Filippo Strozzi, one of the Medicis' major political and commercial rivals. Today it hosts exciting art exhibitions spanning all periods and genres – its contemporary art events are particularly sensational. There's always a buzz about the place, with fashionable Florentines milling around the palace's elegant interior courtyard and lingering over drinks at Strozzi Bistro; during major exhibitions, grab a coffee to take away from here to enjoy while waiting in line.
Art workshops, tours and other activities aimed squarely at families make the gallery a firm favorite with everyone.
