This was one of the best museum tours of our visit to Firenze! We had our personable, engaging and knowledgeable guide Leonardo all to ourselves and learned so much! After a few days in Firenze, we understood the Medici patronage of the arts but this tour helped us understand the lasting legacy of their patronage of the sciences. Full of intriguing instruments that Leonardo brought alive for us through historical context. This museum tour should not be missed!
