"Horne Museum"
Address: Via dei Benci - Palazzo Corsi no. 6
Location: Florence - [Tuscany- Italy]

Description:  The museum is hosted in the 14th century Palazzo Corsi and the art collection is made up of extremely valuable paintings, sculptures, ceramics, gold objects, knick-knacks, furniture, small plaques, seals and fabrics dating from the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Among the artists are Bernardo Daddi, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini, Masaccio, Dosso Dossi, Filippino Lippi. Notable is the "St. Stefano" by Giotto, the "Deposition" by Benozzo Gozzoli and the "Sacred Family" by Beccafumi.

One of the outstanding features of the Horne collection is the incredible variety of works and objects that share their common display setting in a most harmonious manner. Of great interest, as well, is the treasury of drawings and engravings spanning the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries, the precious archives and rich library that could not be but a part of the perfect reconstruction of a well-to-do Renaissance man of culture's home, as desired by Herbert Horne.
