  Посещение бесплатное, но билет брать нужно- для статистики. Любителям христианских сюжетов и итальянской живописи. Любителям Беллини и Ботичелли. Есть также Гирландайо.  more »

  The visit is free, but you need to take a ticket - for statistics. Fans of Christian subjects and Italian painting. Fans of Bellini and Botticelli. There is also Ghirlandaio.

  As others have noted, the collection of early Italian Renaissance paintings is truly excellent. After viewing a dozen rooms of 14th and 15th century masters, the room devoted to Botticelli is startling! Humans with flesh, blood, and mass! And so perfectly lit. Go for the Botticelli’s alone.

  We were stunned by this place. I have never spent 3 hours in a museum before but you couldn't drag us away! The religious art of the high Middle Ages and the Renaissance blew us away, worth the entrance price ten times over. The statues and paintings (including works by great names such as Botticelli) were stunning. It's a must see.
