The museum was located on Via dell'Oriuolo in a former convent of the
Oblates. It closed permanently in October 2010 to make space for the enlargement of the
Biblioteca delle Oblate. Some of its exhibits will be incorporated into a new City museum portraying Florence through the ages, to be housed in
Palazzo Vecchio.
The museum's collections included the 14 surviving paintings of Medici villas by
Giusto Utens. These were transferred in 2014 to a new permanent gallery at
Petraia Villa Medici.
