Why locals love it

An alternative choice for the ones who saw quite enough of renaissance art and want to see something else. The museum of science's history. Different machines, objects, laboratory equipment. Beautiful tools for measurement designed as jewelry pieces. Lots of videos and prototypes of machines that you can actually touch!

Why you should visit it

Because at this museum you learn the history of Galileo. And the history of discoveries. How people actually worked to understand the physic of our world. It's a very enjoyable place to see tools that we don't use anymore. Shows you how people were attentive in making even tools with love and care.

Special tip

My favorite part is with a collection of old world's maps. Try to find your country there! And an interesting and fun bookshop.
