The Salvatore Ferragamo Museum is an exhibition space dedicated to the history and international activity of the designer Salvatore Ferragamo.
Inaugurated in 1995, the museum is housed in the historic headquarters of the company, the medieval Palazzo Spini Feroni, in Florence.
The museum's objective is to document Salvatore Ferragamo's important creative work in the field of leather goods and in particular footwear and to demonstrate the relationship that has always existed between the company, art, design and costume.
Expanded in 2006, today the museum occupies the base of the building.
It is divided into seven rooms: the first two rooms are dedicated to the history of the Ferragamo house and its creativity: over 14,000 models preserved in the museum's archive are exhibited in biennial exhibitions - in rotation.
The other rooms of the museum are instead intended for temporary exhibitions such as the homage paid to Marilyn Monroe in 2012-2013 for the fiftieth anniversary of her death: the Florentine designer created especially for her "decollete" models with stiletto heels, of many colors and materials.
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the fashion house, an exhibition was organized on shoes created by Ferragamo, selected on the basis of the color criterion that has always aroused great fascination on the designer.
