The Museum is located on the first floor of the restored Medici Stables, where there is also the 'F. Inverni ' library, which preserves a specific section and an archive of images dedicated to the artist. The museum was inaugurated on May 16, 2009, two years after the important exhibition 'Soffici 1907-2007. One hundred years after his return to Italy ', organized on the occasion of the artist's return to Poggio a Caiano after his long stay in Paris.
