For the upcoming Easter festivities, the Regional Polo Museale of Tuscany has shared the openings for all of the museums it oversees for Easter Sunday and Angel Monday, March 27th and 28th.
In some cases, these are museums usually open on these days, in others they are special openings once there was an agreement reached with union representatives.
In particular, note that the Museum of San Marco in Florence will have a special opening on EASTER MONDAY, with the extra special possibility of visiting the Greek Hall, normally closed to the public. Here, codexes not on display in the Michelozzo Library are conserved as well as collections of ancient maiolica. The hall has a splendid 15th century ceiling. To see which other museums are open in Florence for Easter, read this post.
