Wonderful small collection of artworks in a beautiful palazzo.

Consiglio di visitare questo bellissimo museo fiorentino. I luoghi colmi di testimonianze storiche sono capaci di affascinare persone, provenienti da tutto il mondo, che amano la cultura e amano le nostre meravigliose città italiane. Già nelle intenzioni del suo fondatore, il collezionista e studioso londinese Herbert Percy Horne, questa dimora è diventata museo che, appunto, ospita le collezioni di Horne, luogo essenziale per conoscere la storia e l’arte. Nelle sale troviamo il Santo Stefano di Giotto e opere di autori come Filippo Lippi, Bernardo Daddi, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti, Dosso Dossi, Antonio Rossellino, Jacopo Sansovino, Agnolo di Polo, Jacopo del Sellaio, Luca Signorelli, Pietro di Giovanni d’Ambrosio, Niccolò di Segna, Piero di Cosimo, Desiderio da Settignano, Bartolomeo Ammannati, Lorenzo di Credi, Carlo Dolci, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Domenico Beccafumi, il Giambologna e una preziosissima tavola di Masaccio: i pezzi sono oltre seimila. Dalla fine dell’Ottocento questi capolavori di pittura, scultura, ceramica, oreficeria, mobili, placchette, sigilli e stoffe affascinano il fruitore.

The Horne museum was much larger than I anticipated and was quite lovely. Its collection is very well preserved and displayed. It has lots of works for art, antiques, statues and paintings to see. It’s very historical and educational, I really enjoyed my time here. I would definitely recommend visiting this lovely museum.

Excellent museum of medieval fine arts.

We came upon the Horne Museum completely by chance. It was open on Monday when the Uffizi was closed and we had the place totally to ourselves!! The ticket price was very reasonable and the staff super friendly and accommodating. The collection was incredible, if you are not hung up on the top famous artists.

Piccolo museo interessante in cui sono esposte, in un elegante quadro domestico, le opere raccolte con gusto squisito da Herbert Percy Horne, studioso e mercante d'arte inglese. Bellissima (anche se l'acustica non è perfetta) l'installazione che, al piano terra, riporta in vita Horne e la sua vicenda terrena. Bagni pulitissimi. Zaini e borse ingombranti vanno lasciate alla cassa.

Great history; glad to have experienced it, a British collector purchased it and then gave it to the city. He sourced the artifacts in the home that fact that it’s there to be viewed is great!!

Very interesting, quick to go through

El museo Horne es una colección privada que perteneció a Herbert P. Horne, un notable hombre de letras, arquitecto y crítico de arte inglés, que al final de su vida se trasladó a Florencia para estudiar el Renacimiento y fue además uno de los más entusiastas promotores de la conservación del patrimonio de la ciudad a finales del siglo XIX. Esa pasión la podemos notar en este museo, que aunque pequeño en comparación con otros museos florentinos, cuenta con una interesante colección dentro de la que destacan algunas obras maestras de Giotto, Simone Martini, Bernardo Daddi, Lorenzo de Credi, Benozzo Gozzoli, Desiderio da Settignano, Sansovino, Giambologna y Bernini, además de objetos de uso doméstico típicos de los hogares florentinos de la época. La colección está distribuida en un palacio renacentista rehabilitado, que perteneció también a Horne, lo cual da una sensación de unidad a la colección, además de un ambiente familiar y permite hacerse una idea de como era la vida en la época. La visita a este museo no es esencial, aunque sí bastante recomendable, sobre todo si se busca escapar de la saturación de gente que hay en otros sitios populares de la ciudad, ya que no suele ser muy visitado, pero se recorre de forma bastante amena y en un tiempo corto.

(Translated by Google) Private museum Downtown Very friendly staff, explains everything in a very simple and understandable way There are many paintings by the school of Giotto, but what to pay special attention to is the furniture. (Original) Частный музей В центре города Очень любезный персонал, объясняет всё очень просто и доступно Много картин школы Джотто, но на что обратить особое внимание так это мебель

Ho visitato il museo prenotando la visita guidata che comprendeva anche Casa Vasari. La guida era molto preparata, attenta e cordiale.

Due piani ricchi di opere d'arte e curiosità come ad esempio una collezione di posate antiche e un' attrezzatura per il cucito domestico. Bella iniziativa l'offerta di visita guidata a Museo Horne insieme alla vicina Casa Vasari, gestita dalla medesima fondazione.

The Horne Museum is a minor museum in Florence that aims to reconstruct an ancient Florentine house between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The palace once stood in an area owned by the Fagni family, which then passed to the Alberti family in the mid-14th century and was purchased by the Corsi family at the end of the 15th century. In 1912 it was purchased by its last owner, the English art historian Herbert P. Horne, who restored it to give it the appearance of an early Renaissance palace and furnished it with works and antique furniture from his collection. Upon his death Horne left the palace to the Italian state and a foundation was established to take care of the works of art kept inside to allow them to be used by the public. The Horne Museum offers visitors a notable number of antiques, sculptures and ancient paintings, among which a panel with Saint Stephen created by Giotto stands out. The palace overlooks Via dei Benci, has an atrium on the ground floor, the noble rooms on the first floor and some service rooms for domestic work (such as the kitchen) on the second floor. Very interesting and educational to visit.

This small and very interesting museum is located in the historical Palazzo Corsi. The place is almost untouched by the crowds of tourists and you can easily find yourself alone in the rooms full of paintings, sculptures, with several pieces of original furniture. The staff is kind and helpful, the only downside is the cumbersome labeling of the pieces.
