Museo Nazionale di San Marco in Florence, Italy, is a renowned museum housed in a former Dominican convent. The museum is particularly famous for its extensive collection of works by the early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, who was also a friar at the convent. Visitors can explore the beautifully frescoed cells where the monks lived, each adorned with contemplative religious scenes. The museum also includes the splendid library designed by Michelozzo, a treasure trove of illuminated manuscripts.
