“I propose to build for eternity.”
Filippo Brunelleschi
The Bargello needs our help to preserve its collections of exceptional cultural importance for the future. We have envisaged a range of fundraising campaigns from the most urgent and basic of requirements through to longer-term strategies that aim to enhance the functioning and reputation of one of the world’s most essential museums.
As an entirely non-for-profit organisation, coupled with the new independent status of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, 100% of all money raised will go directly to the museum.
Photography
Goal: To finance professional photography of the museum’s collections for use in promotional campaigns, education and publications.
Museum website

Museology
Goal: To improve and modernise the arrangement, wall labels and installations throughout all the museum collections.
The Ivories
Goal: To finance a complete re-installation of this virtually unparalleled collection of ivories, including new display cases and a modern atmosphere control system.
