Description:
|
|
The new display area for the museum is situated in the former Teatro degli Intrepidi, a theatre which opened in 1779, closed down and was turned into a warehouse in 1914. The theatre's large empty central space has been converted into a top-lit area in which to allow recreations of now lost architecture to interact with the works of art that once adorned it. It boasts a life-size model of the cathedral's first (lower) façade (1296- ca. 1412) rebuilt "from life" (based on a drawing by Poccetti) using a resin frame filled with marble dust on a metal structure which seeks to convey an image of the original façade rather than to pose as a full-fledged recreation of it. The original facade was dismantled in 1587, and the original sculpture moved to an earlier museum.
