Guided tours for universities – Jeff Koons

From 2 October 2021 to 30 January 2022 Palazzo Strozzi will be hosting a major new exhibition showcasing the art of Jeff Koons, one of the most important and famous figures on the global contemporary art scene.

The exhibition, entitled Jeff Koons. Shine, brings to Florence a selection of the most celebrated works by this artist, who has revolutionised the international art system from the 1970s to the present day.

The tour of the exhibition specially devised for universities and academies is built around a selection of exhibits offering students a chance to explore Koons’ life and career as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the development of his art through various cycles of work.

Tours are structured for groups of up to 20 people plus the guide. Wireless whisper systems must be used: groups may use their own system or order one when booking the tour. The date and time slot of the tour must be reserved in advance. To ensure the tour takes place in a safe and healthy environment, please consult our webpage Open in safety.
