Contemporary art in Florence

Collezione Casamonti offers a focused look at modern and contemporary art in a city often associated with Renaissance collections. Its private collection includes paintings and installations, with works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Joan Miró. Visitors interested in Arte Povera may also find work to explore.

The contrast is the point: this is a stop for seeing contemporary work, not an alternative way to tour Florence’s Renaissance masterpieces. The gallery is small, and a careful visit can take around 20 minutes.

The setting and the visit

The collection is housed in a historic building on Lungarno Serristori. Art and artifacts are also displayed in a peaceful church space, adding a different setting to the gallery rooms.

The collection is arranged for an easy walk-through. If you would like more context, the gallery team can share information about the works. The venue has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom, as well as assisted listening devices.
