Palazzo Strozzi, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture in Florence and a dynamic international cultural center, represents a reference point in the Italian panorama: a platform where to produce and enjoy art through a rich program of exhibitions and cultural activities.

A symbolic place for the life of Palazzo Strozzi is the historic Renaissance courtyard, an open square to the city where over two million people pass through every year and where concerts, performances, and installations by contemporary artists are organized.

Founded in 2006 as the first example of a public-private cultural foundation in Italy, the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation has produced and organized over fifty exhibitions ranging from ancient to modern and contemporary art, as evidenced by collaborations with artists such as Ai Weiwei, Carsten Höller, Marina Abramović or highly successful exhibitions acclaimed by critics such as Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino or Verrocchio, Leonardo's master.

This lively dialogue between tradition and innovation makes Palazzo Strozzi a unique laboratory where new works of art are produced, important restoration campaigns are made possible, new studies and discoveries are stimulated, discussions on relevant themes of contemporary society are encouraged, new ways of communicating and making culture and art accessible are sought.

Always experimenting with new opportunities and forms of public engagement, central is the research in the field of education, through a rich public program and a varied offer for young people, schools, families, and special audiences, such as people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism. Palazzo Strozzi is accessibility, inclusion, experimentation for art and culture: a laboratory for a new idea of contemporaneity in Florence.
