The museum features many artefacts from the 15th to 19th century, mostly pioneering scientific instruments including world globes, stethoscopes, navigation instruments and telescopes.

Opened in 2010, the Galileo Museum is housed in the historic Palazzo Castellani, formerly home to the Museum of the History of Science . Read more

The Museo Galileo (before 2010 known as the Institute and Museum of the History of Science , IMSS, Italian: Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza) is based in Florence close to the Uffizi Gallery .

Truly cool change of pace museum highlighting scientific apparatus from the 14-1900's.

Lots of artifacts , zero real context. Don't expect to learn much about Galileo or science. Quiet and cool if you need a break from the more intense museums , though.

It was founded in 1927 by the University of Florence. It is located in the Piazza dei Giudici. Among the more famous of its collections is the middle finger from the right hand of Galileo Galilei.

It's fine. They don't contextualize Galileo's contributions much. A lot of cool artifacts of various centuries (including Galileo's thumb + finger!) But if it's your first time in Florence, skip it.

Coma inducing museum . Count the number of visitors sleeping on comfy benches .

Great to see historical science instruments. Not crowded at all.

Excellent selection, well explained in both English and Italian.

Locate along Arno river bank ,near the centre & Uffizi museum

Very smelly place and guess what, Italians invented every thing and gave us a better life ????

Take time to experience some science yourself at the end of the exhibition

Very good museum that isn't about art ! Lots of interesting history about time, space and science in general.

Amazing collection of beautifully crafted scientific instruments

Extensive collection of world's earliest measurement instruments and machines.

They have few bones of Galileo - middle finger of right hand , two fingers from left hand and a tooth.

Bring your ticket from another State museum from Florence for €2 discount .

Cool science tools. Best brake after Vecchio and Uffizi .

Book in advance if possible. The queue is really long

10€ for get inside the museum

Small but rich museum

A nice science break after all the art and god.

Impressive Museum

Galileo's middle finger is kept here.

Super expensive . And they are full of little rules that are not very necessary for such an empty attraction .

There was nothing special. Especially the toys at the end of the tour were for kids. Waste of time and money.

Closed Tuesday afternoon

Look out for his finger!

Not so much history on Galileo, which was disappointing. A small museum .

Excellent Italian products , 12 gourmet shops , 500 seats, free WiFi : this is Mercato Centrale Firenze. Every day 10am-12pm.

Un lugar espectacular, una enorme colección de diversos dispositivos que ayudaron a experimentar y a forjar lo que es la ciencia actual, todo con un toque de arte que caracteriza al siglo de las luces

Un museo para ver sobretodo si te interesa la storia de la ciencia . Las maquinas, las balanzas, las mediciones .... una muy buena sorpresa

Finalmente un museo italiano digitale! Scaricate l’app e avrete un’audioguida gratuita sul telefono! All’interno delle schede poi ci sono anche video che spiegano il funzionamento di certi strumenti !

Bilim ve bilim tarihi sevenlere tavsiye ederim. Uffizi Museum’un hemen yanında.

Musée décomposé en plusieurs spécialités scientifiques avec pour chacune de nombreux instruments anciens, quelques vidéos et un appli à télécharger pour plus d'infos.

Сюда прям обязательно сходить нужно! Очень интересные экспонаты, на последнем уровне их самому пощупать можно!

Осень интересный научный музей , 3 этажа экспонатов, плюс в последнем зале можно все потрогать руками и посмотреть как это работает.

Müze çok güzel mutlaka gidin derim sevgilerimle????❤

Como curiosidade se pode ver uma das lunetas usadas por Galileu e um osso e um dente dele

Local interessante com muitas invenções nós influência até hoje !

Si te gusta la ciencia te recomiendo que visites este lugar, es fantástico y hay muchos artilugios míticos!

Çocuklar için süper

In questo museo sono conservati molti strumenti scientifici “primitivi ”, risalenti fino al XIII secolo. In particolare il Museo conserva gli strumenti scientifici originali usati da Galileo. Read more

Museu cheio de coisas interessantes sobre história da ciência.

Interesante pero en italiano las explicaciones

Molto affascinante!

Per fortuna c'è la sezione interattiva alla fine del museo !!!
