The three monumental doors of Florence’s Baptistery, bronze and gilded masterpieces of late Medieval/early Renaissance art, have been reunited after almost 30 years apart. The South, North and East doors can now be admired next to one another inside the Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, the museum containing many of the original works of art created for the Cathedral complex of Florence.
The three sets of doors had been separated for restoration work. The South Door was the latest to be restored, placed back into the museum only recently after a three-year, 1.5M restoration financed by the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore and performed by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, the same institute that worked on the restoration of the two other doors.
