San Marco Museum Tours and Activities

Discover the Medici's story with a walk through the most important streets and palaces. On this tour we deal with the rise of the Medici family and the relationship between political power and art. You will discover how it was possible that this family could govern in Florence for over three centuries and how they supported the main artist in the world: Michelangelo, Botticelli Raphael.

If you’re keen to see beyond Florence’s big-hitting Renaissance art treasures, the city’s San Marco Museum is a must. This 15th-century Dominican convent-museum is home to incredible frescoes by Renaissance masters such as Beato Angelico, Fra Bartolomeo, and Domenico Ghirlandaio, and features painted monks’ cells, a refectory, and more. This tour includes skip-the-line admission, and a private guide to bring the convent’s story, architecture, and art to vivid life.
