The September special at the Stefano Bardini Museum

There are four events in the “Mondays in Blue 2026” series, taking place from 7 to 28 September, offering an opportunity to explore the figure of Stefano Bardini, his collections, and the world of antiques.

The series, organised by the Florence Civic Museums in collaboration with Fondazione MUS.E, takes visitors on a journey of discovery through the Stefano Bardini Museum, one of Florence’s most original and fascinating museums, renowned for its distinctive Bardini blue. The programme includes a wide range of activities for visitors: lectures, participatory experiences and living history events, offering different perspectives on the story of Bardini and the remarkable heritage he collected.
