Begin your tour at the Natural History Museum of Florence, one of Europe’s first public science museums. Founded in 1775 by Peter Leopold of Lorraine, the museum preserves a unique heritage of science, art, and nature. Explore the "Giardino dei Semplici" Botanical Garden, established in 1545 by Cosimo I de' Medici. Discover 6,000 plant species, magical medicinal specimens, the world's largest inflorescence, and monumental trees like a 1720 Yew (Taxus baccata). Next, visit the La Specola Museum, located near Piazza Pitti, that showcases a 18th-century anatomical and botanical waxes, minerals, and over 4 million zoological specimens. See giant Galapagos tortoises, a white rhino, an 1828 Egyptian mummified crocodile, and so much more. Admire the famous Boboli Hippo, a real hippo gifted to Grand Duke Peter Leopold that lived in the Boboli Gardens. During the walk to the Specola, stop to taste Florentine artisanal ice cream. Book your visit an experience where science meets art.
