  I LOVE freaky stuff like this. Unfortunately got there too late to get a tour round the anatomical wax section but I found it fascinating to go round all the taxidermy. I can’t remember what I paid but it was no more than €6. Would happily go again

  Fascinating look at both natural history and the history of museums and displays --some of the artifacts and items have been on display at La Specola for over 200 years! Very cool for science, art, and history buffs alike, or anyone in Florence looking for NOT Renaissance art for a few hours. Get there in time for the guided tour of the wax anatomy collection -- can't miss!
