As the day began we were almost all together. After breakfast we walked over to the Florence Conservation labs and enjoyed a guided tour of the state of the art facilities. The work they do is amazing and we learned about how they protect and preserve the artwork brought to them. Everything from paintings to sculpture to tapestry and other fabric. We were allowed to see up close artwork that few people in the last 500 years have seen that close. After a break for lunch we took a walking tour of Florence to learn about how this Renaissance city grew and developed as well as seeing some of the architecture and art that defines the period.
