Everyone is now familiar with the Uffizi, the Accademia and all the beauties that the Historical center offers its visitors, but in this article we want to tell you about a real hidden gem just a stone’s throw from the center.
The collection is so extensive that it covers European, Islamic, and even Japanese armory. All the collection that comes from Japan is absolutely valuable when you consider that this country was totally closed to trade for much of the 18th century.
If weapons and armor are not your thing don’t worry! You will also find a large collection of porcelain, paintings, and costumes (including the cloak that Napoleon wore at the coronation of the King of Italy).
If you were lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful day, we recommend spending a few hours in the Stibbert Park, which is full of little secrets to discover: from the Hellenistic temple to the Egyptian temple to the stable and lemon house.
If you are lucky you may also observe a few water turtles and ducks inhabiting the Egyptian Temple pond.
