Expressly built and inaugurated in 1965, today's Museum of Sesto Fiorentino preserves the Ginori legacy, in addition to all the objects collected following the merger with Richard.<br />
<br />
The collection includes objects of majolica, porcelain and pottery, made by the Factory from 1737 to today. One section is dedicated to ceramics produced by other manufactories between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Models in lead, terracotta, gesso, sulphur and wax are also conserved. Of these, the wax models are particularly important, as they are original works from the workshops of the two late-Baroque Florentine sculptors Massimiliano Soldani Benzi and Giambattista Foggini.
