An independent tour of an exhibition takes an average of one hour, although of course a great deal depends on how much time a visitor devotes to each exhibit. Guided tours take an average of one and a half hours.

Palazzo Strozzi is barrier-free.

The entrance with ramp to the Palazzo is located on Via Strozzi. In case of need, you can get in touch with the ticket office by pressing the button or calling the number indicated.
An elevator located in the courtyard is available to access the exhibition floor.

Visitors can request at the ticket office to use the wheelchair located in the cloakroom on the second floor.

Bathrooms in the exhibition areas are accessible to people with mobility disabilities.

Palazzo Strozzi is committed to making its exhibitions increasingly inclusive by organizing a series of accessibility projects for people with autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, intellectual disabilities and mental distress.

Strollers may be brought into Palazzo Strozzi and into its exhibitions.

Visitors are required to leave any luggage, parcels, helmets, umbrellas, backpacks, rucksacks and bags larger than 30 x 25 x 15 cm in the cloakroom. They may also leave jackets and overcoats in the cloakroom. The cloakroom is open every day during opening hours and is free of charge for all visitors. Each locker has a numbered key. The key should be replaced in the lock on the locker door after you retrieve your belongings.
The cloakroom is on the first floor. It is NOT a left luggage store, however, so bags and suitcases may only be left there while their owner is visiting an exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi.

Neither the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi nor its staff may be held accountable for missing items or damage to items left in the cloakroom.

No animals – however small – are allowed inside the exhibition area. This rule does not apply to guide dogs assisting visitors with visual impairment, which are of course most welcome.

Unfortunately it is not possible to visit the entire palazzo because certain areas are in use as offices. Palazzo Strozzi’s courtyard and loggia may be visited free of charge, while the exhibition area may be visited during exhibition opening hours by purchasing a ticket to the exhibition.
