Today I visited the national museum, one of the many museums that is often overlooked. Prviously, the museum was a police station that was turned into a proton that resembles to former city hall, Palazzo Vecchio. I wasn't suppose to take pictures but I did...shhhh don't tell! In Bargello, you can find works by Donatello, Michelangelo and many other renaissance sculptors as well as treasures that be long to the Medici family. Did I mention that these people really like the Modonna and child (not "like a Virgin" Madonna but then again, she was one)...they are everywhere. Most of the works in this museum are for the 14 and 1500's, with a few older and a few younger pieces.
Now that's a fireplace!!!!
Lots of little bronze men, women, and animals!
Below these sculptures are wedding chest...talk about a present you can't get rid of or they will notice!!!
