This was certainly more than I expected. The museum houses many items of war including old sets or armor and weapons. There are also many items and antiques that belonged to the nobility, including Napoleon Bonaparte.

It is a fantastic museum, it is not full of people and you can enjoy everything you see calmly, the collection of armor is incredible, I completely recommend it.

Unbelievable collection of medieval armour - my teen boys were so impressed as was I. Worth a visit. Not overrun with people which added to the experience.

TripAdvisor and Viator we're not allowing us to download the ticket PDF so we had to pay again double for the access we will be seeking a full refund on all of these museum tickets

This was the most interesting and enjoyable museum that we visited in Florence. Zero crowds, quiet and treated wonderfully by expert, knowledgeable staff.

Tickets at the door are 6 euros and there is no wait. This is a ripoff and I could not cancel, even within a few hours of purchase.

laslozazi

Mandatory visit for enthusiasts of ancient weapons and armor, friendly staff but very poor lighting of the finds and rooms and limited time to observe the countless finds

Super ! Je le recomand. La plus grande collection des armures de samouraï au monde en dehors de Japon plus, des innombrables armures medievales. Meme un costume entièr de Napoleon ! Domage que le musée ne fait pas de la publicité pour avoir de la visibilité.

Lucac70

Assolutamente una collezione ricchissima e un museo bellissimo. Dovrebbe essere conosciuto di più dai Fiorentini e dai Turisti. Parco bellissimo!
