Traveler reviews
Paolo Mendoza
★★★★★3 months agoWe were lucky enough to catch the Rothko a Firenze expo and I cannot recommend it enough. We didn't have to get tickets beforehand but I would suggest it to avoid issues on busier days.
Shiuan Chang
★★★★★a month agoOne of the best experience I had in Florence. The Rothko retrospect show was informative and stunning. What an artist. What a space. What a curatorial work. The space itself is splendid, and the ground floor is a calm place to hang out.
