Museo Ferragamo

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.

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 .

Must see for all the fashionistas: 1. super well organized exhibition, beautifully arranged in the lower level of Ferragamo palazzo; 2. visit will take app 1hr, then you can check the selection in the shop🙄 3. no need to book tickets in advance, price: 9eur.

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.

Magnifique 🤩. The museum is wonderful, nicely designed and gives many ideas both on the history of Salvatore Ferragamo and the XX century. And it was such a good escape from the general touristic paths.

Unique shoe museum! Having been to countless fashion exhibitions, the Ferragamo collection is very peculiar. Amazing blend of history and exhibits.

they had a special exhibit on women and advancement. And on his wife how she continue the business after he passed I thought it was very interesting. I didn’t think they had that much on. Ferragamo only two rooms with dresses and some shoes and a few purses. It was definitely worth a visit if you go on first Sunday of the month it free.

I'm a fan of Ferragamo, so when I learned that there was a museum showcasing the history of the brand and its namesake founder, I thought it would be a great attraction to add to my itinerary. That being said, I carved some time into our itinerary the last full day we were in Firenze to check it out. The museum is conveniently located on the lower level of the Ferragamo boutique; I purchased tickets in advance, and after showing my vouchers I was given a little information about the layout of the space before being led into the main area. The museum was divided into several rooms; some of the highlights for me were a timeline of Ferragamo's history, a showcase of all of his celebrity clients along with his shoes they wore, and the custom molds he had for some of his clients. The museum was actually bigger than I expected - I'm not sure but for some reason I thought it would only be a room or two but we ended up spending close to an hour there exploring. Overall, I really enjoyed time time at the Museo - I may be biased due to my affinity to Ferragamo, but even if you're not really into the brand it provides great insight into Sal's place in world culture.

Admission is €8 per adult. The entrance is the same as the exit. The museum is downstairs. The shop is on ground floor. There was only one other person in the museum at the time of our visit, which was ~10:45 AM on a weekday. They open at 10:30 AM. The beginning of the museum was a timeline of Salvatore Ferragamo's life. Then you could see different materials he worked with and then his influence in Hollywood. There were Italian and English translations. The rooms are numbered. I would say we spent about an hour in the museum but maybe 2-3 hours in the shop. In the shop, Julia helped our group. She offered us some drinks. Luckily she was there again the next day. She was able to help us again.

Located in the basement of Ferragamo's Florence flagship this museum tells the story of its patriarch through a collection of photos and fashion including iconic shoes worn by A-list celebrities. About 15 Euro per person to enter, guests will learn about the thought process and technology employed to establish a global brand, plus some details about Ferragamo and his family. Expect to spend 1-2 hours.

Amazing museum!!! Must see in Florence. An incredible story of an incredible woman! Cool place for adults or children to learn about Fashion, Entrepreneurship and family! How one "Mom" can raise and family and an international luxury brand!

Museo Salvatore Ferragamo was fascinating and fabulous ... which is exactly what I'd expect from a museum dedicated to this Italian fashion icon and the luxury company furthering his stylish traditions. It falls just shy of a full five stars because there is surprisingly very little on display about Salvatore Ferragamo himself; however, it's easy to round back up based on the quality of the current exhibitions. There appear to be two parts to the museum founded in 1995: Ferragamo Shoes and Special Exhibition(s). The 9€ ticket price offers admission to both. Neither section is very big, but most of the space seems dedicated to the rotating exhibits. Salvatore was called the "shoemaker to the stars" and the museum beautifully displays original examples and prototypes of his genius that was loved by silver screen legends like Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, and Audrey Hepburn. The collection includes pieces from 1927 until his death in 1960, but also modern Ferragamo shoes. Sustainable Thinking is the current special exhibit and seemed to occupy the majority of the exposition space. It was a genuinely educational and inspirational blend of art and fashion with a focus on employing sustainable, alternative, and thoroughly creative materials while raising awareness of the human challenge to preserve the environment and world for future generations. The Museo Salvatore Ferragamo is located in the underground level of a Florentine palace (Palazzo Spini Feroni) built in 1289 that has been the headquarters and workshop of the Salvatore Ferragamo company since 1938. Its prime location as part of Piazza di Santa Trinita in central Florence (Firenze) makes the museum a convenient exploration for all tourists while the fabulous fashion and fascinating art makes it a must for any fashionistas or Ferragamo fans.

Small, fabulous museum in a high end shopping district. Fans of shoes, fashion, and Ferragamo (whether you can afford his pricey duds or not, personally, I cannot) will enjoy this museum.

Alright this place is just ok. The ambience and location are great and are easily accessed. The staff when you walk in are very helpful and speak English very well. The 6€ is a bit overpriced as there is not much to see and not really a good background on either fashion or Ferragamo. The pieces are definitely nice to see but it's missing a compelling story behind it. I wouldn't suggest if to this reason unless you happen to be shopping in the connected store. Bottom line...unless you are a die hard Ferragamo fan, I would skip this as there is nothing spectacular to see here since there isn't a good story behind th pieces. The museum should consider rearranging in the story line approach to make the guests more interested. Pros Great location and underneath the Ferragamo store Very friendly staff and great ambience Cons I'm not a huge fashionista so I though thE layout and pieces were missing a good story line to hook the visitors

This museum is about 1/3 Salvatore Ferragamo stuff, 1/3 an exploration of the intersection between art and fashion, and 1/3 gender and feminist themes in contemporary art. You might be deceived when you first climb down into the dark basement and encounter a display of hundreds of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, as well as wooden shoe molds of famous women for whom Salvatore regularly made shoes (the likes of Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Lady GaGa, and many more). If you want to see an archive of Salvatore Ferragamo fashion through time, you will have one room for that, but that's it. The exploration of the intersection between art and fashion starts with a display of actual articles worn on the runway, which leave the viewer to question whether these are actually clothes. Most are unwearable and lack real function, but they were on the runway, and, therefore, art. This room was also accompanied by videos of contemporary performance art. Connecting art to fashion again, the museum explored Salvador Dali's influence in fashion in the early 90s. The museum also explored contemporary art themes more generally. I can recall a video of a fashion model who was being dressed as a "Russian Doll," layer upon layer until she was completely engulfed, as well as a video of ordinary looking humans wading down a river in New York, but appearing rather dead. The museum also featured a series of photographs of Andy Warhol exploring his own identity and bending gender lines in the 80s. There was also a room to help you understand the artistic process. The viewer is surrounded by walls with a projection of absolutely random stuff just appearing on the screen, similar to the randomness of the artistic process... I guess. All in all, this was definitely a weird museum, but worth a visit if you prefer offbeat things. The museum is digestible in about an hour, so even if you find that it's not your speed, you will be able to move on and carry on with your day.

You cannot go to Firenze without stopping by Salvatore Ferragamo. And if you are a fashionista you must see the museum located in the lower level of their building in Piazza Strozzi. The street level has wonderful displays of their current collection. Use this to compare what you see in the museum which will show you the art and mastery behind one of the most successful shoe and fashion brands in Italy. Ferragamo is a big name in Firenze so it is well worth a visit to see how they represent the history of their company and the creations that are displayed. Groups can view the exhibits but need to call in advance to notify the museum. I would happily be trapped in the Ferragamo museum or even their retail store because everything looks so beautiful with a great variety of colors and fabrics. When I think of Italian shoes, one of the top names that come to mind is Ferragamo.

I felt quite disappointed in this museum after reading the stellar reviews. I came here two hours prior to my appointment at the uffizi, and I thought this might be a fun little stop on the way there. I enjoyed some things about this museum such as the shoe collection, but to be very honest, it really doesn't have much to look at beyond the signature antique shoe collection in the front. Yes, it's only 6 euro, but maybe I would have enjoyed myself more with an extra large serving of gelato down the street. I saw everything in 20 minutes and headed upstairs into the Ferregamo flagship store, and that was actually a better experience for free.

I never even thought about a museum for a clothing line but man this was pretty cool. The exhibit is in the basement of the Salvatore Ferragamo flagship store and is huge! There's a lot of vintage items in here and it's laid out pretty nicely. I couldn't imagine a museum that was doing a travelling exhibit could have set this up nicer than the store could without the class of course ;) If you're by here to shop I'd recommend putting some time aside just to check out the museum as it's a pretty neat collection of all things past and all things glory for Ferragamo.

A local shop owner sent us here - I loved it. The video installations and the way the museum is curated is charming. It's more than fashion, some great history to be seen as well.

So wonderful to see all of there timeless looks, and all the people whom they have dressed or made custom shoes for, the attention to detail has never wavered an ounce and it is still there theses shoes although price hold there value as they are made well, I my self have 12 pairs in my collection and love each and everyone, some I have had for a very long time and they are just as comfortable as when I bought them, I refuse to give them up, and get rid of them I just redo the soles when I have sworn them down, truly fantastic shoes that have kept there designs.

Their expositions are always incredible. I went last year in the one about Marylin and was wow! Also to learn more about this unique brand is special.

It's Ferragamo people! Every shoe loving lady needs to see this amazing collection. From great Hollywood Icons to actual costumes, Ferragamo's body of work is impressive and a true indulgence to see. It is a short visit, but well worth it for the shoegasim!
