Museo unico, necessita di più visite per apprezzarlo al meglio

Museo visitato gratuitamente perché ho acquistato i biglietti per il museo di paleontologia. Molto carino l'allestimento. Ne vale sicuramente la pena.

Bijzonder museum welke je een geweldige inkijk geeft in de wereld van meer dan een eeuw geleden. De collectie is enorm, en het museum ademt de tijd waarin de collectie is verzameld. Het heeft niets te maken met Florence en de renaissance kunst waarvoor iedereen naar de stad komt, maar het is zeker de moeite waard! Je bent er waarschijnlijk alleen.
