I thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the Galileo Museum in Florence, Italy this October. If you’re ever travelling in Florence it’s well worth a visit.
Spread over three floors you’ll find perfectly preserved refracting telescopes from the 1600s, dozens of Geocentric and Heliocentric orreries (models) of the solar system (many in enormous scale), some of Galileo’s original experimental apparatus including gravity ramps and pendulums and original copies of Galileo’s Sidereus Nuncius and The Dialogue.
The museum overlooks the majestic Arno river and crucially is within easy reach of several decent cafes and bars. Saluti!

I went there a few years ago in Summer and would recommend that museum to all .Indeed, despite the light pollution and buildings,that trip was the last time I saw Shaula and the rest of the Sting in Scorpius right from the centre of Florence!
