Found this to be an interesting place to visit. Very relaxed with incredible artwork. 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.

This is where the Medici family actually lived. We booked tickets in advance for early in the morning and we went straight in. The chapel of the Magi is on the first floor. You are only allowed in for 5 minutes as it is quite small and groups of 10 go in at a time. You just have time to look around it and take pictures. There is another stunning room, A Mirror Gallery. It’s a lovely building to walk around. There is an indoor and outdoor courtyard and garden. There was also a display of busts downstairs and two other exhibitions. One was of modern tapestries and pictures ( from the 1930s) which were very colourful. I really enjoyed this building. It was one of my favourite in Florence.

This was a medici palace, was then bought by another family and is now a municipal building.. It's more of a town hall with some old stuff, some paintings and a few really decent rooms. Some of the hanging tapestries are very faded and have light direct on them which seems very weird from a conservation perspective Not worth the money and I.like my history.
