You definitely have to love film and stage design to fully appreciate this place.. But if you do, then it a stellar experience. Seeing the transformation from Zefferelli's graphic representation to stage: play and opera, gives an insight into what an imagination and vision he must have had. I loved the Inferno room and his pictorial translation of Dante's Circles of Hell..Spent over two hours here and then enjoyed their tapas and coffee outside.

The building of the Franco Zeffirelli Foundation has a little bit of everything, including an exhibition space, a library containing the collection of books that the director owned, a tearoom, an outdoor dining area, a great looking courtyard and a bookshop. You'll definitely find something that you like to spend money and time on.

Overlooked museum, easy to access. Wonderful models of sets, original costumes, and history. The Dante' room was an experience and where film is heading.

A small but interesting museum.

An excellent collection of original sketches, paintings, models and costumes by Zeffirelli for film, theatre and opera. Photographs of stars and video excerpts from productions since the 1950s till recently. Downstairs there are temporary shows and the beautiful costumes from Romeo and Juliet were on display when I visited. There are toilets upstairs, a lift to 1st floor and a bookshop where tickets are sold.The reproduction of the designer's study was most fascinating.

Excellent performance of popular opera ariass in a fabulous sounding hall. Received a flyer in line at the Santa Maria del fiori and bought tickets online in advance. 35 Euros well worth it.

I came across this place by chance and loved it. You can see some amazing schetches of opera scenography and original costumes designed for opera singers.

This was a great museum especially if you're a movie buff. Franco did so many productions, movies and operas, an incredible man. No lines, maybe takes an hour or two at most.

A genius well presented and well worth learning about from this friendly, well set out and inspiring Museum.

We juist walked in here and ended up having dinner with live music from a chamber orkest. The food is simple but good and service is attentive.

Absolutely amazing. Entrance fee is only €10 and you get an incredible experience. Original costumes and sketches. The Sala Inferno (from a scraped project) is one of the best displays I've seen in Florence. Avoid the queues from the mainstream museums, enjoy the silence and the formidable work the people from the Fondazione have done.

Good Museum. Great bar for meet and chat

Great exhibition!

Nice place to rest with many shops in the blocks around it

Best place for opera fans

Impressed by FZ museum. I adore his Romeo and Juliette and in his museum i could see his photos in the process, personsl things, original clothes from movies, his awards. Was surprised that Franco Zeffirelli was born in Florence, his career path. I would like to go there again.
