Through paintings, textiles, glassware, ceramics, and furniture, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the daily lives of women in Renaissance Florence,from birth and education to religious life, from marriage and motherhood to household management and from personal devotion to their activities both inside and outside the domestic sphere, including the rituals of self-care.
