Museo Stibbert; an unexpected museum

The Museo Stibbert is an unexpected and lesser-known museum situated just outside the city center of Florence (Zone Fortezza da Basso). A triumph of gold and treasures, shields, knight equipment and paintings, it looks like a fairytale. This is the temple, the empire, of the art collector Frederick Stibbert (1836-1906).

Stibbert benefited from his diverse nature as an international financial consultant, world traveler and passionate art collector to control the antique trade in Europe for 50 years and to realize his ambitious project;  Making Villa di Montughi his 'own museum'.

Let the great passion of Stibbert for the history of costumes and accoutrements of war from the Far East and Japan, carry you through his unique museum. Visit the Stibbert Park with its beautiful Limonaia (building where the citrus trees were placed in winter), stable and the small Egyptian temple next to the pond, personally made by Stibbert. Do you want a break from the bustle of the city and do you want something out of the straordinari? Then this musem is just the place for you!
