Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The Uffizi in Florence will be opening a new exhibition in December dedicated to their collection of Florentine wax sculptures from the 16th & 17th centuries. In fact, they've been busy acquiring works for the show, including a work by Gaetano Giulio Zumbo entitled 'The Corruption of Bodies' (click on the link if you want to see this gruesome object).
The show will run from 16th December 2025 until 12th April 2026 (just in time for Christmas).
