Address: Piazza Pitti, Palazzo Pitti
The Museum of Carriages situated in the projecting wing to the
right of the
Pitti Palace
preserves a fine collection of carriages once belonging to the
Medici, Lorraine and Savoy Houses. These objects, conceived as
functional rather than as works of art, convey an impression of
the atmosphere of luxury and fashion characteristic of court life
through the centuries. The museum is at present closed to the
public for restoration and refitting.
