Reviews
Astounding works of art created by skilled craftsmen from cut pieces of (semi precious) stones of such wonderful colours. A useful explanatory film is shown in the 'laboratory' upstairs. Prepare to be amazed.
A hidden gem of Firenze. We got here by luck, we had the passepartout ticket from the uffizi and it included this museum. In my opinion, is the best museum in Florence. I liked every piece in the exhibition. The museum is just the right size, not too small, not too big so you can get bored. You should really visit it. Very friendly stuff
terrible! This is an unpopular museum. I regret wasting my time. I came to the museum after class at 13:35, I had already bought a ticket in advance and was not allowed into the museum.
Spectacular little museum with unbelievable examples of pietre dure. Don’t miss the second floor, which has a video explaining the painstaking process through which these spectacular pieces are crafted! Admission is free if you have Uffizi passes.
This is the BEST and most interesting museum in Florence! If you have the combined ticket for Uffizi, Pitti and Boboli Gardens this museum is for free! I spent my time there being amazed about the craftsmanship and beauty of the different rocks and stone inlays 😍 …
It is one of the must stop musuem in Florence for me.
It took not over 1:30 hr to complete the whole musuem since it is quite small but it is full with valuable art pieces.
If you have Uffizi ticket, you can show this to officier and it is free entrance for this place.
Opificio delle Pietre Dure e Museo, the Workshop and Museum of Semi-precious Stones, has exhibits of works of art made of semi-precious stone inlays. I didn't particularly have it in mind when I was planning what to visit in Florence, but the combined ticket that I bought for the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace came with a free entrance to this place. On a slow morning, I visited it. I had very little knowledge of the artwork, but my visit was surprisingly enjoyable. If you like semi-precious stone inlays or if you happen to have the combined ticket and the time, make sure to visit.
Really cool unique museum
I’ve never seen art made with rock before. Bottom floor has a ton of really cool work. Top floor shows a little bit more of the process and examples of the rocks used. You really gain a greater appreciation for it when you see the painstaking work behind the scenes and how they choose the rock for each section!
