Although I didnt pay for the gardens and the costume exhibition... and didnt really like the modern art collection.. I found this Palace full of interest... the art works had a really good card system, so you could read about the peice of art work that you were looking at, unlike the Uffizi, where if you didnt have a book...

A huge palace with wonderful frescos on the ceilings and over the top displays of opulence. We have seen a lot of palaces on this trip and this is simply one more. Take a look at the gardens if you go, they are lovely

Now they have split the ticket and it is expensive to do the whole thing...but you can pick and choose whether you'd rather see the main collection or the gardens. This actually sounds like it is one city where it's worth to get the city card (Firenze... More

A great place to take in some Renaissance and Baroque art (e.g., Raphael, Perugino Correggio, Ruben). If you are there in the spring spend time in Boboli/Bardini Gardens. The flat where Dostoevsky wrote the Idiot is just across the street.
