90 years of Guccio Gucci
Gucci will celebrate his first 90 years in Florence, where the brand was created byGuccio Gucci  in 1921. Will Madonna and Jennifer Lopez be part of the big opening event on the 26th of september? We will probably not know untill the very last moment. But what we do know is,  that after the opening ceremony, there will be a very exclusive dinner party in the beautiful 'Sala dei 500' at the Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria), the townhall of Florence.

The Gucci Museum
The museum will occupy 3 floors and cover around 1.700 square meters. A big part of the museum is dedicated to the world of horse sports, a big inspiration to Guccio Gucci - think about the horse bits that show on almost any Gucci bag - . Besides the items related to the world of horse sports, you can see clothes that where especially designed for the rich and famous,  a lot of beautiful photo's and  enjoy the extremely rich archive of vintage items that has never before been accessible to public viewing!
