The zoological taxidermies are charmingly lopsided. In contrast, the wax anatomy collection is a true artistic and scientific wonder, and should not be missed. A real treat for anatomy enthusiasts.

Cool museum with the largest taxidermy collection of specimens of all animals and insects that I know of.Also, the wax works of human anatomy is freakishly real.Appt necessary for the human wax works.

Luke Avery

Fantastic respite from the crowds with an amazing collection from the natural world. Many (but not all) signs have English translations.

Opened to the public in 1775, “La Specola” contains some extremely rich zoological collections. Of particular interest is the Hall of Ungulates and Carnivores Read more

It is a fascinating, fun, strange and a completely underrated place in Florence. Open: 9.30am-4.30pm, (6euro admission fee, reduced 3euro). Closed Monday, address: via Romana 17.

Un museo davvero ricco, anche se in tipico stile ottocentesco: andrebbe rimodernato!
