The Photo Library of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz has been transferred to a new site, the Palazzo Grifoni Budini Gattai, and has reopened to the scholars on 18th January 2010.
The opening hours of the Photo Library in the Palazzo Grifoni are as follows:
Monday to Friday: 10 am to 7 pm.
Visitors with a valid user ID card for the KHI should enter the Palazzo Grifoni by the door on the Via dei Servi 51 (doorbell for "Photothek").
The Photo Library is on open-shelf access as usual on the piano nobile of its new home. Offices and Special Collections (large format photos, specialized literature) have been installed on the ground floor. All consultation desks are provided with facilities for the integration of analogue and digital media through a PC with internet connection. A seminar room for c. 35 persons is also available on the piano nobile for meetings of the Institute and of the Photo Library itself.
A book service between the Via Giusti and Via dei Servi will permit users to continue working in the Photo Library with books from the Library.
We look forward to greeting you in the Palazzo Grifoni.
The Palazzo Grifoni: residence of Ugolino Grifoni, secretary of Grand-Duke Cosimo I, the Palazzo Grifoni was erected by Bartolomeo Ammannati in one of the most prominent sites in Florence between 1561 and 1565. The façade on the Piazza Santissima Annunziata was completed in 1772. The present interior with representative staircase and fresco decoration on the piano nobile goes back to the Budini Gattai family who acquired the palazzo in 1890.
