The Galileo museum is a collection of scientific instruments and related objects of great craftsmanship collected by the Medici. I could have spent days in there looking at each object in detail. Many have great historical significance including the inclined planes that Galileo used to demonstrated rates of falling balls. A wonderful collection. More

We learned so much, from the interactive contraptions to the history of so many things we use today. Even people who may have flunked science will enjoy this! More

Although I am no Physicist or Engineer, I fell in love with this museum. I learned more than I ever thought I would and it was so well set up it was well worth it to visit. With a vast collection of artifacts from telescopes, thermometers, globes, chemistry sets, medical instruments, constellation maps, etc. it's bound to catch the interest... More

Perhaps this one is not top of the list for visitors for Florence but the museum was great. Supporting info is needed, be sure to have a guide as we did - was great! More

Worth a stop to see the instruments and how they were used. Our son found this a nice break from looking at paintings! More

Very interesting museum. The collection of globes was outstanding, all labels and information is in English as well as Italian making it very enjoyable since you are able to understand what you are looking at! Families would really enjoy this museum, we saw a number of children under 10 that were quite excited by what they saw. At the end... More

We unfortunately visited this museum on a day that they closed at 1pm, so our husbands really wished they had had more time here. Really fascinating for guys, who had had their fill of paintings and sculptures! More

It was ok - I had expected more of Galileo than there was. However, if you like odd science things, it's a good place to go. More

This museum is well worth visiting. It is not as popular as many others in Florence and yet, it is one of the city's gems. There are so many wonderful exhibits spread over several floors. My favorite sections were the globes and maps. Amazing! More
