Museo degli Argenti

  • August 8, 2004
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Tolik from Tampa, Florida
Museo degli Argenti

The left-side wing of the palace is given over to the Museo degli Argenti (Silver Museum), arranged in the summer apartments of the grand-dukes, is entered from the garden courtyard (combo ticket with Museum of Porcelain and the Boboli gardens). Some of the most valuable objects are the vases belonged to Lorenzo di Magnifico. The rooms towards the Boboli gardens were the living quarters of the Grand Dukes. Here, and on the mezzanine floor, are displayed their bizarre collection of personal items and gifts presented by other ruling families. Also during our visit, the museum hosted an exhibition from the Pompeii excavations giving us a great chance to prepare ourselves for the visit to the Vesuvius area next week.
