The Museo Galileo is a science and history museum in the Piazza dei Giudici in Florence. The museum has a collection of significant scientific discoveries dedicated to the gifted Pisa-born scientist Galileo. The most well-known Galileo telescope is present here.
Another noteworthy instrument is Evangelista Toricelli's Mercury Barometer, designed by him in 1643. Cosimo Ⅰ, the Medicis and the Lorraine dynasty have donated most of the ancient scientific instruments to the museum. These instruments include clocks, telescopes, globes, and so on. Interactive exhibits allow us actually to know how some of these worked. Galileo's two of his fingers and a tooth are present in the museum.
