★★★★★3 months agoVery beautiful collection of armor and items from around the world! There are QR codes throughout that give you more information about what you see. Would definitely check out especially if you have a kid that loves amour! PLAN TO SPEND TIME AT THE RESTAURANT! It's pretty afforable.

★★★★★3 months agoAn incredible collection of predominantly arms and armour from europe, the Islamic world and Japan. All set in a fascinating house that was converted to hold and complement the collection by Fredrigo Stibbert throughout his lifetime. It is not close to the center of Florence but worth the journey out if you have any interest in arms and armour or just want to see the collection of one 19th century gentleman who clearly had a very discerning eye for his chosen subject.
