Galileo Museum Tickets at Piazza dei Giudici

The Galileo Museum is a museum in Florence dedicated to the history of science, with a collection centred on instruments and artefacts from the Medici and Lorraine courts. The holdings include original telescopes used by Galileo Galilei, astrolabes, armillary spheres, and early mechanical clocks spanning several centuries of scientific inquiry.

Visitors move through themed rooms covering astronomy, navigation, time measurement, and natural philosophy, with exhibits labelled to explain the function and context of each instrument. Among the most visited objects are two of Galileo's original lenses and a preserved finger relic. Tickets grant full access to all permanent galleries, and the museum sits among the broader range of Florence attractions along the Arno near Piazza della Signoria.
