Museo Gucci is located directly on Piazza della Signoria, near the
famous Neptune fountain. It is housed in a classic building. Originally
it had fallen into
disrepair, but was restored to the highest standards. It not only
houses the museum, there is also the museum's store and the Caffe.
We were greeted warmly and paid the 6 Euro per person (ca. 8 USD) entrance. We were then directed to the beginning of the exhibition. There were two floors open, containing the permanent and changing exhibitions. The museum gave a good background what Gucci is all about. It started with suitcases, clothing and accessories from the 50ies and 60ies until the 90ies and some parts of newer collections. The museum left out Tom Ford's tenure as head designer.
The current exhibition was by a Portuguese artist and included a sculpture and video installations.
We enjoyed our visit very much and would return any time. Photography in the museum isn't allowed, be aware of this. From our experience for the viewing of the exhibitions, we would plan in around 60 to 80 minutes.
