The Museo Galileo in Florence is one of the world’s leading science museums, preserving an extraordinary collection of scientific instruments spanning from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. Housed in the sixteenth-century Palazzo Castellani, overlooking the Arno River, it safeguards masterpieces of scientific instruments once belonging to the Medici and Lorraine families, including Galileo Galilei’s original telescopes. A place where the beauty of objects intertwines with the revolution of modern scientific thought.
