Rothko in Florence: a journey through colour in the heart of the city

The exhibition “Rothko in Florence”, scheduled at Palazzo Strozzi from 14 March to 23 August 2026. It is one of the most eagerly awaited cultural events of the year. For the first time, Florence hosts such an extensive retrospective dedicated to Mark Rothko, the undisputed master of modern American art.

Visiting this exhibition means immersing yourself in a journey that brings together colour, emotion and architecture. To truly enjoy the experience, choosing comfortable and central accommodation is essential. Albergo Firenze, in the heart of the city, is the ideal base for experiencing Rothko in Florence at a smoother and more enjoyable pace.

Rothko in Florence: a truly unique exhibition

Curated by Christopher Rothko and Elena Geuna, the exhibition presents over 70 works from private collections and major international museums, including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate and the Centre Pompidou.

The exhibition route allows visitors to retrace the artist’s entire career, showing how Rothko was able to transform colour into space, emotion and depth.
