Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

The Leonardo da Vinci’s Museum is located in the heart of the city, very close to the Brunelleschi’s dome of the main Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. At the entrance you will find the new bookshop, with a variety of interesting books, including our catalogue cured by Carlo Pedretti and a wide assortment of gadgets.Visiting the exhibition hall you can discover the world, the life, the works of the universally recognized as a worldwide Genius, whom secrets are still not yet completely revealed.Here you can also test the functioning of his most important projects and designs. You will admire inventions of an extraordinary visual impact, operating and life-size machines, such as the ” war machines ” with the great tank, or the “civil engineering machines” such as the Brunelleschi’s crane and the “flying machines“: you will then walk back through the ambitious dream of Leonardo’s life: the flight.In addition to his engineering projects you’ll find in a unique exhibition space, the reproductions of his most important paintings, including the Last Supper, the Mona Lisa and the Annunciation. A great opportunity to admire them all together and to compare them! The rooms of the museum are enriched with multimedia displays which will help you in understanding the functioning of the machines and making your visit even more enjoying.
This was a must for me. 7 euros entrance. Lots of fantastic models of Leo's inventions and downstairs a huge area where you could play with models etc great for children and adults!

The first and only museum entirely dedicated to the Medici Dynasty. The Museum is on the noble floor of the Palazzo di Sforza Almeni, property of the secret waiter of Cosimo I de' Medici, in via dei Servi n.12, a few steps from Brunelleschi's Dome.

The Museum of Dante's House is waiting for you with a band new set-up! In the heart of medieval Florence, in one of the most fascinating buildings in the city, you'll have the chance to discover and rediscover one of the most important figures in Italian and international history and culture thanks to state-of-the-art technologies: touch screens, interactive tables, Virtual Reality and video mapping. An interactive, immersive, multisensory journey through the life and works of the Father of the Italian language, presented here in all his complexity: the man who loved his city, the warrior who defended it, the politician who was exiled from it and the Supreme Poet who sang of it until his death in the eternal tercets of his Divine Comedy.
Our first stop was the Dante Museum, a recreated Medieval Tower House that looks ancient but is actually only fifty years old. I love the way the Italian builders can make the new look old and integrate a modern structure into the fabric of a Medieval city. Americans could learn a lot from the Italians when it comes to quality building design and construction. For more travel tips, check out my travel blog.
