It's a shame the interactive area was closed, but if you're a science (specifically physics) geek this is a great museum to see historical instruments used to make groundbreaking discoveries at the time. It houses some intricate instruments used at the time and an extensive amount of the Medici family's donations. Some sections are a bit morbid (such as Galileo's severed finger and the sections on how children look in-utero), but it's a fun, unique museum to visit while in Florence by the Ponte Vecchio. It's not a large museum - to see the entire collection should take no more than 2 hours, but it's always a blast to go.

Loads of old telescopes , barometers , thermometers, scientific measuring devices etc.
Cons-
I thought the museum could have been put more in the context of the trajectory of modern day science rather than just a wardrobe of old equipment. I.e - it’s interesting to look back to look forward to see how far science has come.
There wasn’t much info on what everything was, or used for, or how old telescopes worked, who invented them etc.
Nor was there much info on discoveries that were made using the equipment.
I.e if we once thought the world was flat, or that the sun orbits the earth... then it should be included in the exhibition info.
Ps- I know its not a exhibition on Columbus or Copernicus ... but still at least it gives or the equipment context which would have been more interesting.
Pros-
Historically geeky, no line to get in.

The art on show in Florence is, of course, amazing. But the renaissance was about more than get a 3D perspective on a 2D canvas. It triggered new scientific thought and experimentation too.
Galileo Musuem is not too expensive - we paid €24 for a family of four on the door - and is not too large - i.e. long-winded - to take sceptical teenagers around.
There are lots of pieces of early scientific instruments which are a bit sterile when out of context in a glass cabinet. But some of the most interesting have accompanying animated videos which show you what they were designed to test and what they proved. Many are made in highly decorative timbers which make then look like something from Antiques Roadshow.... but...
Some of the most visual are replicated downstairs in an activity area in materials which can be used by all. Roll balls down things and rotate others to show what the brains of the age were tackling and what results they came up with.
There is an app you can download once in the museum which can guide you round... whether you can download it before you get there I am not sure, but it would be useful if your charges are likely to be halfway through the next room before you've had chance to get them interested in a particular piece of kit.
(You may have gathered that my lot find museums and galleries a bit of a trial, but if you have ones who have any interest in physics, electricity, science in general...you'll be on to a winner.)

The place is huge and very interesting. I wish I could have read all the explanations on all the items, but I would still be there today. If you like science it is a very interesting place to go and you can stay there for hours and hours to try and see everything. It ends up being a little tiring, especially if you have to walk to go to other places. We were unable to see everything because the place closed at 12 or 13 (we thought it would close later) and we were leaving the city after this attraction.

We went to the museum around 12:30 on a Friday, no ticket, no line and straight in. If you are remotely a science or history buff, or need somewhere to send your partner while you shop, this is the place. Allow a good two hours. There is an app to download, free WiFi and take earbuds for the walking app tour/info. Cost €10 for adults, cheaper for kids - sorry left mine at home so didn't bother looking.

My wife and I loved this museum. It was not crowded.
It is full of history, not just in a variety of Renaissance inventions but how they played into history and art.
Fascinating when you try to imagine that these were created by hand and caused so much change to the world. Many are still in use as part of today’s equipment.

This was a little surpriseat first, the front desk was little help but the sign that said to download the app to hear the narrative of the exhibits. My phone I was able to do it only because it's an older model, my husband could not because bluetooth wouldn't work. The exhibits were interesting but without the explanation it was hard to know what we were looking at.

Very frustrating that we had to make at least five attempts to download the ticket PDF from TripAdvisor and Viator. The people at Galileo were unable to help us so we ended up having to pay twice for the tickets and waste at least 45 minutes trying to get the tickets on pdf. We will be seeking a full refund and would not recommend travelers to use this. Furthermore, the price of Entry to Galileo was 10 euros but the Viator price was 18 Euros per person?!

Terrific museum highlighting the scientific advances of Galileo and others. Definitely download the free app as it provides audio and textual information beyond what is shown. Takes only a couple of hours, and there was no line!

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
