Travel Inspiration

Florence is known for its iconic museums, but some of its most memorable stories live in quieter places. Tucked inside historic palazzi and side streets, these five small museums reveal how people lived, questioned the world, and expressed creativity beyond the famous masterpieces. If you’re willing to slow down and wander, these lesser-known stops offer a deeper, more personal way to experience Florence.
