La Specola is the precurser to Gunther von Hagen's "Body
La Specola is the precurser to Gunther von Hagen's "Body Worlds". 17 century eerie and morbid wax anatomical specimens. A never ending display of taxidermy- everything from mile long tape worms, to rhinos, endangered birds, and reptilian 'nightmares are made of' monstrosities. Go for the wax models. Incredibly anatomically correct. Several reviews mention the sexual vulgarity and in fact, this is a case of different treatment for the sexes. Be prepared for women sporting pearls, lounging on frayed silk "fainting" couches- their entrails displayed in a tangled mess of offal internal organs.Amazingly, considering the lack of proper artificial coolants, these displays have survived several hundred years. The museum is open regular hours; however, to view the wax figures a tour must be booked so plan accordingly- my tour was at 3 pm and I don't know if there are other time slots available. I read a negative review stating that the taxidermy specimens were in poor condition-an accurate observation for sure. Then again, one shouldn't be surprised by the condition of a modeled, preserved, 3-400 year old organic specimen. It's a small museum, off the typical tourist radar- well worth a visit after touring Palazzo Pitti

I am so surprised it's not on people's "must-see" lists for Florence. There was only a couple other people here when we were here. It is across the bridge, not too far if you are staying anywhere near the Uffuzi Museum. If you are a medical professional the human anatomy exhibits will blow your mind. Art meets human anatomy. Some of the wax models are in very interesting poses as their organs are displayed. If I correctly recall, most of these wax models are from the late 1700s. Then there's the animals, tons and tons of animals, from a wide array of birds, bears, lions, alligators. It's a zoo of stuffed , once alive animals. It's kind of creepy but very interesting, nothing like I've ever seen before. Something to definitely experience if in Italy. Pictures don't do this place justice. 6Euro per person.

I've lived in Florence for two years and never once heard about this place! During our stay in Florence last week, one of my old friends recommended that we check it out. My husband, who is a science/zoology buff was floored by how much interesting stuff was in the relatively small space. There are about ten different rooms that are filled with fossils, specimen, and taxidermied animals. Some of the rooms were a bit boring, but the finals rooms totally make up for it. The end of the museum is comprised of wax anatomical models from the 1700's that were used by medical students studying surgery and basic anatomy. It was truly incredible to see these beautiful wax figures with their guts spilling out. It truly was a sight to see!! They also have a beautiful observatory room with a giant telescope, but you have to make an appointment to see it. We were so amazed by all of the wonders in the museum. There is a also a beautiful garden in the back that's nice to check out when it's open. It's a great stop for people with children, or for people looking to take a break from art museums.

Be the first to ReplyFell in love with this place.
Family members who had been before raved about it so I was eager to check it out and it was cooler than I even expected.Room after room of fossils, animals, minerals and exotic plants acquired by several generations of the Medici. Located right near the Pitti Palace, it was weird to me how few people were there. Fine with me! I got to look at everything and take plenty of pictures. The anatomical wax models were so cool...used to teach medical students. A really great rainy day stop.
