Gucci Museo

Worst waste of an hour of my time in Florence.
3 small floors of trunks, purses and a few couture dresses. Not sure how this qualifies as a museum — there was hardly anything in it!
Saw the occasional cool item and tried to snap a picture but someone ran over to block my shot. Complete waste of time — don’t bother.

Almost gave it 4 stars… felt it was lacking in something, but quite can’t put my finger on it. I enjoyed the museum a lot — definitely recommend it to those who like luxury goods. It’s small — yet artistically designed.
Seeing some of the inspiration behind their collections, ideas and concepts was interesting. I think I would have enjoyed learning more about the family — the elegance of the brand’s rise to popularity. In Paris, Louis Vuitton does this well — made it worthwhile. Seeing the infamous Gucci Cadillac Seville car was the highlight for me. I love cars and heard stories about a Gucci Cadillac, yet never knew if it was true.
It’s a nice museum for in-​between visits to other attractions. It’s not «primary» enough to make it onto a Must See list.

This was such a waste of money. Save your money and visit the Uffizi museum instead (for just 1 euro extra), you won’t feel ripped off.
This museum feels like someone just raided an old woman’s garage sale and exposed all of it in a tiny building. I can’t believe Gucci would put their name on such sad establishment.
The only interesting part in a room with 4 beautiful Gucci dresses, dating back to 2012 (I know — so historic). It was a collection made for stars (Blake Lively, etc.) that was worn at red carpet events.

A museum from a luxury fashion line?! I only own a couple of Gucci pumps and haven’t followed too much of the clothing line, nor have been that interested in their handbag line, but I figured, it’s only in Florence, might as well check it out. I went on our last night, a Thursday night after 8pm and was able to take advantage of their discounted admission. It was reduced to 5 Euro. And what’s notable is that 50% of ticket proceeds goes to maintaining the city’s art treasures.
The museum has excellent lighting and showcases the different collections and notable one of a kind items such as a car and golf set, and even exquisite gowns worn at award shows. It’s several floors and is an easy walk through. The book store and café are housed on the bottom floor. No photos are allowed though I saw one couple taking photos. Maybe if it was Chanel or Louis Vuitton I would have liked it more, but I would say it’s a solid 3ish stars. It’s a nice change of pace (and more relatable) from the typical museums in Europe.

Beautiful museum, loved every part of it. Definitely something to visit during your time in Florence.

Came to the Gucci museum as soon as I head of its existence in Florence as it is my favorite brand.
The museum is very small but it is absolutely stunning there are some absolutely incredible dresses and handbags but my absolute favorite was the car. It was perhaps the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen. If you are here while it’s open you should definitely go.

Guccio Gucci’s first store open in 1921 in Florence. I appreciate the history of fashion and since I had some time to kill, I check out the Gucci Museum. (I probably should have seen David, but that line was too dang long!) It costs 7 euro to enter the museum. No photos are allowed to be taken in the showrooms. I enjoyed learning about early start of Gucci and seeing the beautiful leather products, car, evening wear, and handbags over the few floors. I ended my visit by going into the museum shop and café.
The staff are friendly and not snobby at all. Bathrooms are very clean and a good place to escape the heat and chaos of Piazza della Signoria.

Visited the Gucci Museo yesterday walking around Firenze. Admission to the museum is € 7 euro per adult, which I thought wasn’t too shabby considering attractions around the city run from € 3 — € 17. For those who are interested in the brand, the museo shows a great overview of their history, how the prints and logos came about, the artists behind the brand, and then of course showcasing iconic bags and gowns. You can’t believe how tiny Blake Lively and Selma Hayek are until you see their gowns on display! The Gucci Foundation for nearly a decade has been supporting the restoration of films so it was nice to see clips of the films that they had restored as well (La Dolce Vita).
Attached to the museo is the café and book store. The book store is a pretty hefty collection of great coffee table books. The café is pretty pricey, so if you can’t spare the extra euros, by all means, order the € 5 cappuccino, € 5 iced tea, and € 8 dessert.
Shoppers, be advised, unlike Salvatore Ferragamo (museo and store front), the Gucci Museo is not connected to the Gucci store. The Gucci store is located caddy-​corner to the Duomo.

Located next to the Gucci Museo, the Gucci Icon store carries books and Gucci products not found in the regular Gucci stores.
Being Gucci, prices are not cheap. But for me, I considered when I’d be in Florence again, and decided to splurge and buy a few things.
The SAs were very friendly and not at all snobbish. They wrapped all of my purchases and gave extra gift bags for my purchases.
I’m pleased with my purchases and every time I use my Gucci Museo purchases, I’ll remember my visit to Florence.

To my close friends and family, it’s a known fact that I am a huge Gucci fan. So it wasn’t any surprise to my best friend who I traveled with when I requested to make a stop at the Gucci Museum while in Florence!
It’s a pretty small museum, and only charges 7 euro — 50% of that going back to the city of Florence to help preserve it’s sites and history.
What I really enjoyed about this museum is the history it gave about the logo, the brand and the creator. When you go through the different rooms, you will see vintage pieces as well as a few red carpet favorite dresses worn by some of the world’s most famous celebrities. They also have small temporary exhibitions as well as some of the original building preserved. Overall, a very nice museum– a good break from all the Renaissance masterpieces. They also have a decent gift shop! Worth a stop in especially if you are a fashion lover and in the area. If you have time, also a grab a latte at the Gucci Café and people watch in the Piazza.

One thing Italians are known for is their fashion, and Florence is home to many of their most famous fashion houses, including Gucci. When I arrived in Florence, I had no idea there was an entire museum dedicated to all things Gucci. It’s in the Piazza della Signoria — admission was included with the Firenze Card, so I decided to visit after the Palazzo Vecchio. It was definitely one of my favourite attractions in Florence. A must see if you are a Gucci fan! There were exhibits for just about everything Gucci — from handbags to picnic sets to golf bags. My absolute favourite was the room housing gowns that celebrities had worn — I could have sat there for hours staring at the beautiful dresses!

A must if you’re interested in fashion, and my husband enjoyed it as well. The building is gorgeous, completely renovated. It was almost empty, a nice air-​conditioned break from the heat outside, and has fantastic bathrooms. Entry fee is reasonable (even more so if you catch a special, additional art exhibit). There is an interesting and unexpected video exhibit about their involvement in film preservation. Can be done in about an hour.

This museum is not to be missed. My traveling companion had to drag me in there, and I left with a free tour, iced coffee with grappa, and an Exquisite one of a kind, handbag with my name embossed in gold in it! Nuei (Na) was a delight to work with and very professional.

This museum is tiny but it was still a nice place to visit. It was interesting to see all of the designs. There’s a nice café there and a place where you can read books and magazines. I wish they had these kind of museums in the states. I’m wanting Louis Vuitton to open one.

From the napkins to the sugar everything was decked out in Gucci! love this place! highly recommend it if you are a girl like me who truly enjoys fashion and a great cup of coffee. had a nice sit down around noon but only had cappuccino and dessert. the place of course is pricey but you can expect that because it’s Gucci! they have a museum and gift shop with really neat and exclusive items made just for this location.

I went to the Gucci Museum (Museo Gucci) on 6÷12÷2013. It was my first time there. I did not know about the museum till I ate lunch at their café on the piazza. For 6 Euros I did a tour of the museum. It tells the story of the Gucci Company from the opening of Guccio Gucci’s first store in Florence, in 1921, to the present. My favorite item on display was the picnic set. A pleasant way to spend a little bit of your time in Florence and well worth the entry fee.

A gorgeous collection, but not much of a museum. A quick run through is all you need, but Gucci’s genius cannot be ignored. The car and riding crops were a personal favorite.
Also there is a store attached with a museum only collection. A stunning silk scarf originally made for Grace Kelly among the pricey pieces.
