Historical museum guides

The guides to the Bargello National Museum, published between 1873 and 1932, and drafted on the basis of a topographical layout, are invaluable tools for following both the growth of the Museum and how its rooms were arranged during the period of its formation.

These texts enable a useful comparison with the historical inventories of the Museum and are a living testimony to changing taste and the history of museography.

So we thought it would be a good idea to photocopy them and make them available for consultation.
