- A captivating museum showcasing da Vinci's inventions and art, offering interactive and educational exhibits. . . . .Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Entry to the Museo was included with our Cathedral tickets, and we weren't expecting to find so much here. A very fine collection of art ranging from Roman sculptures to more modern pieces and including one of the Michelangelo Pieta pieces.
If I hadn't left my mother in the cafe (where she was very well looked after by a charming waiter) I could have spent longer here, so much to see and indeed touch (there are some touchable pieces which give a real sense of form and texture).Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The exhibits vividly showcase his groundbreaking contributions, from advocating heliocentrism to advancing telescope technology and naming the aurora borealis. This museum is a treasure trove for anyone fascinated by the evolution of scientific thought, and I’m thrilled I had the opportunity to explore it.
Of course, you can't miss the massive armillary sphere crafted by Antonio Santucci. Its intricate design and historical significance are truly brilliant.

The museum has two rooms full of his machines and they can all be touched to understand the system behind which is kinda cool! Only problem is that it gets full, loud and crowded with kids fairly fastWritten December 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You got the feel of the building and the chapel and the ceiling of the Mirror Gallery are unforgettable. Near the Academia gallery where the statue of David is. We were sightseeing after seeing David and this was relaxed and not crowded, a welcome change.Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo_and_TomAnna, OHThis is walkway from the Uffzi to Ponte Vecchio and Pettit Palace. It follows the river with the Medici Gallery on the side. The Gallery was under construction so we couldn't take it. The walk was beautiful with many shops along its sides. The buidling along the river and very old with many being in families for generationsWritten April 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TobiasWallinUppsala, SwedenOur teens love historical war stories and related museum and they thought that this was one of the best museum they has visited for a long time. But you need to be quite informed about the subject to really enjoy the time spent. As a regular vistor it was only an average experience.Written July 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Francois TJohannesburg, South AfricaVery beautiful on the inside and outside. Great architecture and artifacts on display. Very reasonably priced and not overcrowded and busy like some of the other areas. Good restaurant options in the area as well.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anon58759SpokaneWe stumbled upon this museum when trying to find things to do on our Florence pass before leaving Florence. The guides were very kind, and the one who accompanied us was very patient (he was nominated by another as he spoke the most English, not a lot, but our Italian is limited to about two words) explaining the artwork, artifacts and mission. It provided a down to earth look at an organization providing humanitarian assistance through the ages and apparently the work continues.Written January 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jon bEastbourne, UKLots of interesting books for sale. Although the museum had English translations of the displays the wording was so complicated I did not know many words and had to look them up. Not very well displayed and many major aspects of the Medici family were omitted and sanitizedWritten February 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ano111Philadelphia, PAI didn’t see this museum mentioned in my guidebook but stumbled upon it. It is not a real historical museum like other places in Florence in that it doesn’t contain artifacts of Dante. Rather it is an interactive museum with exhibits that you can watch or read about better on your own time.Written August 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sylviaFlorenceFlorence, ItalyExtremely interesting tour considering that The Hospital was founded in 1288 by Folco Portinari, father of Dante’s beloved Beatrice, and since then it has not stopped working since today.
Guided tours Monday at 12.00 and at 4 pm.Written November 11, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Anyway, it's an ecleptic (??) assortment of artifacts, from Roman times through the 16th century. Has a guide (sheet), which was very helpful. Most interesting part was the fresco (full wall). take a half hour to hour and then grab some food on the way back to your hotel (or next stop).Written December 18, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
