It is located in the Palazzina della Meridiana next to the southern wing of Pitti Palace. Founded in 1983 as a result of major acquisitions and public and private donations, today it boasts a collection of more than 6,000 objects that make it one of the most important fashion museums in the world. It traces the history of fashion from the sixteenth century to the present day, with dresses and accessories designed by the major Italian and international designers.

I have already visited the gallery and I recommend to visit it. The garments are displayed in showcases to preserve them from the dust and the air. With walking along the dress you will also appreciate beautiful palace saloons and assembly rooms.

Even you will not find hundreds of dress displayed, you may have a look into digital gallery which is available there. You may spend there couple of hours to go thought the photos of the dress and admire detailed photos of embroidery, fabrics and tailoring art. …Enjoy :-)…
