The Museum is located in the monumental complex designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, home to the Istituto degli Innocenti of which the Museum is part. Created to exhibit the works of art of the ancient Spedale, a large reception center for children, the Museum has been transformed into a path that allows you to discover a cultural heritage that is unique in the world because it is deeply linked to the activity carried out in favor of children who could not be raised by their families of origin.
