Galileo revolutionized humanity's understanding of science and the universe with proof that the Earth orbited the sun. Nestled in the heart of his native Florence, this fun-packed museum explains and celebrates his incredible achievements.

In the museum's Medici collection, check out some of Galileo's original scientific instruments, including his iconic telescope and the lenses he used to discover the moons of Jupiter. And you'll see his real middle finger, perfectly preserved in an ornate glass vial!

After that, browse an incredible collection of ancient Italian scientific equipment, including Antonio Santucci's armillary sphere – the largest in the world. You'll come to appreciate just how much Tuscany has contributed to modern science.

Feeling inspired? Study up in the gigantic scientific library (with over 15,000 works) or go wild with the hands-on exhibits and interactive displays.

This museum was so much more than I thought it was going to be. It contains a really cool collection of scientific instruments documenting achievements in navigation, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and anatomy during and after the Medici era. You will see things here that you’ll never see anywhere else.

Interesting and nice clean display. Would love to read about what some of the things are instead of only seeing what it’s called..like that huge astronomical device. What did it do? Nice name though.
