The Museums in the District of Santa Croce in Florence



Florence is the city of art par excellence: in every corner of the city you can find churches, monuments and museums that house invaluable treasures. The district of Santa Croce is clear evidence of it: if your apartment for rent in Florence is right here, round every corner you will discover unforgettable places and always new suggestions to spend your time during your Florentine holidays. If after visiting the beautiful basilica and walking along the streets nosing among the palaces and the shops you feel like knowing something more about Florence�s art and history, you can pay a quick visit to the museums of the area.

If sciences are your passion, the History of Science Museum is with no doubt something you can�t miss. Among the other collections you will surely find interesting the one dedicated to Galileo: here you will be able to take a close look to the telescopes and lenses with which Galileo observed for the first time the major satellites of Jupiter. Before leaving, pop to the room hosting the collection of ancient globes and celestial spheres.

If, during your stay in Florence you have been fascinated by the works of art by Michelangelo, you might find it enticing to see where the artist lived for some time: go then to via Ghibellina 70 and go in to visit the rooms that hosted this great personality, and the collection of his works that is gathered here.

Are you still up for some art? Book a ticket for the Horne Museum. What makes this museum special is that it is a full-blown house, that in which the English art critic Herbert Percy Horne lived and in which he put together a small treasure made up of works of art. Visiting the museum is at the same time as entering a private Florentine house, fournished with precious pieces of period furniture.
