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