"What began in pre-war Italy as two small workshops in the Palazzo Spini Feroni on Via Tornabuoni has grown into a fashion empire and a brand synonymous with Hollywood glamour. A museum dedicated to the craftsmanship of Salvatore Ferragamo opened in this grand palazzo in 1995. The collection includes the wooden lasts, or forms, that Ferragamo used to shape shoes for stars like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren. Glass cases display some of the company's colorful and iconic creations—many that seem more sculpture than shoe. There is also a small space that hosts contemporary art exhibitions."

The **Salvatore Ferragamo Museum** in Florence, Italy, offers a detailed look into the brand's rich history and craftsmanship. Visitors appreciate the exhibitions of over 10,000 shoes, artistic collaborations, and iconic creations worn by celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. While the museum focuses more on women’s fashion and shoe design, it provides valuable insight into the creative process and evolution of Ferragamo's craftsmanship. It’s a must-visit for fashion enthusiasts, though some might find the emphasis on women’s fashion limiting.

Nice museum for a quick stop. We made a brief visit here with the Firenze card. It was nice to read about the history of Salvatore Ferragamo and see his innovative shoe designs over the years. The story was inspiring as well. Be aware — you will be tempted to spend a lot of money on shoes afterwards.

One of the best museums in Florence that speaks about the heritage of one the greatest shoemakers of XX century and about the history of his fashion house. A story of energy, passion, creativity and success. Visitors friendly: the staff are nice, information is detailed, presented from unusual viewpoint. When in Florence I would go there again.

An excellent museum, with so many well curated exhibits that not only give you a better understanding of how this famed Italian fashion house came from its humble beginning to become one of the most recognized brand, but the journey through the different themed room put you in a nostalgic mood. A must visit for Florence.

A lot of different styles of footwear are present , no line, just a few people. Some information about Ferragamo . It did not make a big impression on me. So, there is a lot of more to see, then spend time in this museum in Florence. Would not go back and would not recommend it .
