Stefano Bardini Museum

Did not expect such beauty. The owner was a rich art dealer, so the collection is great. The museum has a great atmosphere and is very quiet and unique

This place is amazing. It's just on the other side of the river away from the hustle and bustle of The main area and is an oasis of normal culture and peace. As the tourists go nuts (often without even understanding why) over the pieces in the big places (and also possibly being abused by staff if you are in the Uffizi *spit*)... This place has a beautiful simplicity, openness and odd warehouse feels about it that you really feel close to what you are looking at. Staff are unobtrusive and very helpful when you speak with them. There are very good descriptions around the place describing both what you are looking at and how it came into the collection. At the start you get a very good explanation about how Bardini set up the place and how it was managed afterwards. Not sure about price as we had the Firenze pass but pretty sure it is cheap and is certainly well worth the visit. Vibe is antique, unique and open

This was a very interesting museum, very historical and educational. It has a wonderful collection of ancient artifacts and antiquities, it has lots of paintings, statues, weaponry, coins, religious works of art and much more. Its collection is very well preserved and displayed. I really enjoyed my time spent here and I would definitely recommend visiting this museum.

Absolutely amazing and underrated museum. I was virtually alone on a very busy weekend day. The building and artwork are fully integrated with a wide variety of pieces. It is both a palace and a museum. It also does a great job explaining the history of preservation and art dealing through each work. Must see!

This museum, founded by 19th-century art dealer Stefano Bardini, contains a diverse collection of Renaissance sculptures, paintings, and decorative arts. It provides insight into Florence’s antique trade and how artworks were restored and valued over time.

Fantastic museum in Firenze. 5/5 from me as there were very few tourists here (nice and quiet) and the history of this place is exceptionally amazing. Quirky collection of the most eccentric and fabulous artefacts collected from around the world at the end of the 1800s. Just the building alone is a gem.

This museum is an escape from overcrowded Florence reality while still in the walking distance from the city center. Enjoy artefacts once owned by a collector Stefano Bardini but remember to look around as the place itself is worth admiring. You would probably not spend more than an hour here as this place is small.

If you need a place to get out of the rain and away from the crowds for a few minutes after crossing the bridge, try here. I didn't see another soul inside yet the exhibits are diverse and facinating.
