The museums.

An exhibition is visited in its rooms, but it is better understood by listening to those who conceived it. At Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, “Broken. The Power of Fragments” brings together more than 80 works from about 50 lenders and four thousand years of history, from Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica to Michelangelo, Rodin and Louise Bourgeois. It is organized with the National Gallery of Art in Washington and is open from 25 September 2026 to 24 January 2027.
