What travellers are saying
- Radu C2 contributionsVery pleasant time and full of findings! I highly recommended! Is a Florence must visit and you will enjoy it at full. Don't miss itWritten August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ryan Otto Ulrich317 contributionsVisiting this museum is a profound experience, offering a glimpse into Galileo’s monumental impact on our understanding of the cosmos. 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.

- maciel v1 contributionThe museum was amazing it was clean and the optical illusions were very cool. Both floors had a lot of interactive activities. Kid friendly and a fun experience if you visit alone, with friends or with family.Written August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Judy DavisStourbridge, UK7 contributionsWe went to visit the anatomical waxes which were an extra 3 euros for a tour. We were lucky to get on the 11am tour (there are 3 per day). We knew that the tour was in Italian, but Emmanual our tour guide was excellent and tried his best to explain to us in English.
The rest of the museum was also really interesting. Most of it was air conditioned and very well maintained. We spent a really good 2 1/2 hours here. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're interested in anatomy.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Needless to say I was not disappointed in my visit to the anthropology museum. I was on a guided tour with a group of college students and the guide did an excellent job putting an updated spin on the museum. Having said that I would still rank La Specola (the natural history museum with taxidermy and the anatomical waxes) as a much higher option for those who like old style museums.Written April 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James WCwmbran, UK39 contributionsVisited this place recently on an organised school trip whilst in Florence. The location was a bit strange and felt very out of place however the museum itself was great. Plenty of things to do and play with. We were lucky enough to have been given a presentation by an Italian lady who spoke English. Bearing in mind she was explaining some complicated theory's, she did an excellent job keeping us and the students entertained and informed. Highly recommend goingWritten April 23, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- George_RodesDüsseldorf, Germany4 contributionsThe VR experience is short but amazing . I think this is how the museum future should look like.
The projection part is a deep dive into Da Vinci’s mind.Written September 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
