I've gone on a sort of museum spree while in Europe, even more than usual. One wonderful discovery has been the Museo Marino Marini in Florence, which happens to be a really cool building. The original structure is a beautifully austere Alberti church, with an added modern interior network of walkways and platforms of a sort, to provide many views of Marini's statues. I actually wasn't really familiar with his work before going to see it, now I have probably seen it from more angles than the original artist! In any case, he's an important Italian artist of the recent kind and the museum is entirely overlooked by many visitors to Florence. I was there on a saturday afternoon and it was deserted except for one other person.

As the blogger mentioned there is almost no one at the Marini museum (beside a weird crowd of Pakistani men/immigrants curiously having a little gathering at the entrance.It seemed their meeting spot).Maybe the long long line of people waiting to enter the Uffizi can maybe take a turn at the Marini musem which is wonderfull.a real gem of Italian modern art
