Museo Galileo aka The Science Museum

So on May 10, Amber and I visited the Museo Galileo. This was the first site in Italy where we didn't have a tour guide and to be honest I was a little nervous if it was going to be worth the time and money. However, I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised. The museo consisted of two floors and the artifacts within were amazing. Most of the artifacts on display didn't have a lot of information posted. However, we purchased audio tours for 5 euros after walking around on our own. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY! There was a lot of history behind the items, and the audio guide informed us on every detail. Unfortunately, the museum closes early on Tuesdays so we didn't get a chance to view the second floor. In addition, due to rules and regulations no photography was allowed. Hence, I don't have any pictures to post and share. However, the next time I am  in Florence, I will definitely be visiting again!
