    Absolute must see if you are in Florence for a few days. The palace looks very authentic and has its own charm. Maybe not that popular as other touristic attractions, but definitely worth visiting.

    Amazing. I think this is my favorite museum in Florence as a material culture and medieval art lover. The frescoes were stunning on their own, but with the beautiful furniture collection I was blown away!! I also think they did a great job providing information to visitors with the plaques and written info in each room. If you can, definitely make sure to get access to the upper floors as I had an amazing time going through the drawers of lace and needlepoint. Such an amazing collection and worth a visit for sure, even with the strange hours.
