The Pitti Palace now houses several museums: the Palatine Gallery, the Silver Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Costume Museum and Carriage Museum.

Silver Museum houses a glamorous collection of silver, porcelain and jewels, much from the personal historic collection of Lorenzo de Medici. The museum itself is beautiful, its walls decorated with 17th-century frescoes.

Museum of Modern Art –This museum, founded in 1914, contains 30 rooms with art dating from the Neo-classical period up to World War I. The museum’s sculpture collection is particularly extensive.

Costume Museum – This fun museum takes you through the evolution of fashion, from the 18th century to the present. The collection includes a group of 90 theatre costumes.

Carriage Museum - This whimsical museum features the gilded carriages used by the nobility of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The museum's crown jewel is a silver carriage, belonging to Ferdinando II di Borbone, King of Naples.
