We just wanted to see the herb gardens but there was an exhibition of dinosaurs on at the time (which we didn't want to see) and they wanted to charge us 10 euros each! We turned on our heels and left. More

This place would be awesome for kids! I am 27 and it was awesome for me! Had no idea I would find this in Florence on my honeymoon haha. Totally worth 6 euros. More

I gave this quirky zoological museum a 4 since I would have given it a 3 while my 11-year old would have given it...an 11. Case after case of every animal imaginable, including a few extinct species. I enjoyed the butterfly and beetle room, which my son liked the larger mammals. After your finished with the animals the museum has... More

I really recommend you this museum, especially if you have children. Added to the different animals, minutely classifies, there is a whole part dedicated to anatomy, with excellent parts of the body in wax, and descriptions of the XVIII century. Believe me, it is absolutely fascinating and educative!!! More

If you have a dark sense of humor (or, of course, if you're a sober scientist or historian), you won't want to miss this place.

Like, for example, a deer with... More

Only go here if you live or are on an extended stay in Florence. Not a place to go if you're here for a short time. More

Title sums it up. When visiting Florence for the art, don't forget the scientific discoveries here as well. This was a great museum, with thousands (millions?) of specimens. From coral to animals, reptiles and birds, to stunning wax human anatomy models. And the crystals downstairs were great too. If you love science, don't miss this museum. More

The Zoological Museum is one of the great, little joys in Florence. It has a small but encyclopedic collection of stuffed beasties from all over the planet. More importantly, it has a stupendous, unique collection of wax models of human bodies and parts thereof dating back to the 17th century, and reportedly still being used by students of anatomy. They... More
