Beyond Florence‘s many permanent museum collections and historical sites, each new year offers a host of temporary art exhibits to plan your visit around. The “Un anno ad arte” series in the state museums make up for the larger body of these exhibitions, and the 2014 ones are simply listed here along with a few others about which I already have information. As the year moves on I’ll be posting more about some of these, including exhibit reviews and seasonal round-ups of what to see in Florence.
