This is an absolutely fascinating museum, I was here a couple of years ago and I can only image how much better it is now. It’s has an amazing collection of statues, monuments, artworks, paintings and memorabilia. It’s very well preserved and displayed, it is a very unique and historical museum. I took home a nice souvenir and books about the museum’s collection. I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely recommend visiting this museum when in Florence.
A must, just the building is worth the visit. Viewing some of the sculptures in natural window light in the top floor a pleasure.
Must see beautiful sculptures such the Giovanni di Bologna Flying Mercury and magical Donatelo's, Bernini's and many others for a beautiful display of the Italian Reinansence. Not as busy as other popular museums and displays in town. Worth every penny...(rather Euro).
Nice, quiet museum with some great work from some of the masters. The building is impressive as well. I downloaded the Rick Steves audio guide to help me through the museum. Give yourself between an hour and an hour and a half to get through at a leisurely pace.
Just lovely. I mainly wanted to see the Donatello works, especially his David. Which is just such an integral part of Medici history. Loved the Majolica pottery as well...
It's a very nice museum focusing on sculptures, with the ground floor hosting a mix of Roman and Christian mythology, and the upper floors focusing on primarily Christian mythology. There are also a room just with weaponry.
It wasn't very busy and much less crowded that the more popular Uffizi, which was great and allowed you to move around and consider the pieces. The building itself is also very interesting, built in 1255, functioning as a prison and police headquarters for several hundred years before being turned into a museum.
It was €14 per person and a good visit.

Rich museum, gathering items from many historical periods, including art and decorations, famous statues, but also everyday objects.
Our comfortable and serene modern life has countless roots in Florence, a crucible of arts and knowledge. Viewing and understanding the past helps to leap into the future.
