Florence’s state museums will be open to the public on January 7, 2024, as they are every first Sunday of the month. Access to the key state art sites is free, from the Uffizi Gallery to the Palazzo Pitti and the Medici chapels, with no need to book. In short, situate oneself in a decent time zone and prepare to be patient. Residents of Florence and the province have another opportunity: on the first Sunday of each month, they can visit Florentine civic museums (those maintained directly by the municipality, such as Palazzo Vecchio and the Santa Maria Novella complex), as well as engage in special tours and family activities. They also have the right to a special free permit that grants entrance to three monuments related to the Duomo. So, let’s have a look at all the free museums in Florence on January 7, 2024.
