The Galleria d'Arte Moderna (Modern Art Gallery), open to the public since 1928, has collections of modern and contemporary art from the 18th century to the 20th century on the second floor of the large museum complex Palazzo Pitti, close to Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

The palace, built in 1458, was originally the residence of Luca Pitti, and it was owned by the Medici family since 1549. During the centuries, the palace became a treasure house of paintings, sculptures, jewels, porcelain and other luxury items, and today it is one of the most famous museum complexes in Italy.

The collections of the Modern Art Gallery include masterpieces by Pietro Tenerani, Francesco Hayez, Camille Pissarro, Giovanni Fattori and other famous artists.
