Florence: Bargello Museum guided tour (english)

Overview

The Bargello Museum is one of the most outstanding museums of Italian art and also one of the oldest buildings in Tuscany. Take a fascinating journey into the past, as this building is rich in its history. Explore the museum with a guide as the Bargello’s collection is truly unique primarily thanks to the extraordinary collection of sculptures. Here you can see masterpieces of Michelangelo, Donatello, Benvenuto Cellini, Verrocchio, Giambologna, Gianlorenzo Bernini and many others. The Bargello Museum knows how to surprise, because after passing two floors dedicated to sculptures, you find yourself in a completely different place: in the halls of the wonderful collection of ceramics, the so-called majolica, or in the halls where there are collections of tapestries, textiles, silver and coins. On the top floor, you'll find a delightful collection of weapons and armor, which will make you feel as though you're transported back to the days of tournaments.
