Opificio delle Pietre Dure

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:27:04

Founded in 1588 to support the Florentine art of pietre dure (mosaic-like inlays of marble and semi-precious stones), this charming little museum explains how the works are created and includes remarkable examples of the craft, from portraits and trompe l’oeil tabletops to panoramic landscapes.
