The museum collects documentation on the history of the city of Florence.
It originated as a Topographic Museum in 1909 with a provisional setup in the Casa Buonarroti and was later moved to the Convent of S. Marco, intended to complement the existing Museum of Ancient Florence, as a supplement to the collection of architectural and sculptural fragments recovered from the late 19th-century demolitions of the old center. In 1955 it was moved to its current location under the name “Florence as it was”.
