Housed in the ex-convent that belonged to the Oblate sisters of the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, the museum offers rich documentation of the transformations of the city of Florence from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century. The museum of history and topography was established in 1909 with the intention of documenting parts of Florence that had disappeared following the drastic demolition work carried out in the second half of the nineteenth century. After being housed in Casa Buonarroti and the Convent of San Marco, in 1955 it opened to the public in its charming current location under the new name of “Firenze com’era”.
