After the Uffizi visit and the accompanying mental exhaustion, this visit was the opposite, there are no thousands of exhibits to visit. This is a old building lovingly restored and furnished to showcase life in the 15th century. There was no queue and it was only 6 euros ( my wife complained she went to the Academia Gallery, where the statue of David is housed, and apart "David," there was little else, and at 16 euros felt short changed and wished she came with me . I would throughly recommend the Museo di Palazzo.

A lovely traditional house, furnished mostly as it would have been in the 15th century - the painted walls are amazing, and there is quite a bit to see although the top floor wasn’t open on the day of our visit. No queue, and although we had reserved tickets, you could probably have just turned up - a refreshing change from other Florence museums. Well worth a visit

This museum is an oasis of calm in the middle of Florence's tourist center. The building interior is very interesting architecturally, and the displayed items include furniture, art, tapestries, ceramics and an interesting quilt that tells a story about a knight who fights to prevent taxation and takeover by a foreign knight. Kids will enjoy the video that explains the story. The top floor has a display on lace making and has pull out drawers showing many examples. On a Saturday early afternoon there were fewer than 30 people in the entire 4 storey museum. They accommodate people with mobility issues with an elevator and there are a few places to sit and rest.
