The Museum of Costume and Fashion

[kbh505]

This shares the second floor of the Pitti Palace and was closed today. Does anyone know if it is closed for a long time or was today an aberration?

The official website reports:

The Imperial Apartments and the Museum of Costume and Fashion remain closed for refurbishment works until further notice.

So they've been closed for a while, with no certain reopening date in sight.

I don’t know precisely when it will reopen as there isn’t any additional info on the official site. I did find a news article on the closure (in Italian) and it says the planned reopening is in 2023 - https://www.mffashion.com/news/backstage/a-firenze-rinasce-il-museo-della-moda-202204051951239040
