The first thought that comes to my mind when I hear someone mentioning Florence is Art, Renaissance and Humanism. Florence is all that but not only. The city is also the birthplace of modern science. You will trace the scientific evolution while visiting the Galileo Museum, which houses more than 1000 scientific instruments, bearing testament to the crucial role that both governing dynasties, the Medici and the Lorraine, had in the field of scientific development in Europe. The Galileo Museum is named after the most famous Florentine scientist and it includes the remaining original artefacts invented and used by Galileo Galilei himself.
