The Museo di storia della fotografia Fratelli Alinari (Fratelli Alinari Museum of History of Photography) was inaugurated in 1985. unique in its kind in Italy and one of the fourteen musuems in the whole world, today this collection is the only national institution devoted exclusively to photographic exhibitions. It preserves about 350,000 old positives – “vintage prints” – printed on albumin, bromide, salt paper, calotypes, daguerrotypes, ambertypes and stereoscopies. The museum exhibits the Mallandrini, Palazzoli, Zannier and Gabba “collections”, in addition to some of the works of the most famous photographers if the nineteenth and twentieth centuries like Alinari, Anderson, Nunes Vais, Primoli, Beato, Ponti, Naya, Wulz, Mollino, Peretti Griva, Baravalle, Balocchi – to quote some of the most famous Italian artists – and of foreign artists like Mac Pherson, Sommer, Bernoud, Graham, Rive, Fkacheron, Von Gloeden, Robertson, Fenton, Bourne, Brandt.

The Museum also claims important collections of cameras, lenses and old photographic objects that include an extraordinary selection of photographic albums and publicity gadgets both from Italy and abroad.

The museum aims both at preserving and exhibiting. Since 1985, it has in fact being planning a series of exhibitions targeted to three main themes: history of photography, semiology and monographs on contemporary artists. In cooperation with the Alinari Archives, the Museum has organised most of these exhibitions, also welcoming others thanks to its close contacts with similar national and international institutions, like the Fortuny Palace of Venice, the Museum of Orsay, the French Society of Photography, the National Library of Paris, the Royal Archives of Windsor, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, the Public Library of New York and the Gulbenkian Foundation of Lisbon. ... da “Museums and Galleries of Florence and Surroundings” (Apt Firenze)
