Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology
Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology, Natural history museum in Florence, Italy
The Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology contains 15,000 ethnological artifacts and 6,100 anthropological pieces within the Palazzo Nonfinito building in Florence.
Paolo Mantegazza established the museum in 1869, transforming a cabinet of curiosities into Italy's first comprehensive anthropological research institution.
The collection includes items from Captain James Cook's Pacific voyages, an ivory horn from the Kingdom of Kongo, and various objects from Asia and Polynesia.
The museum opens from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, offering reduced admission rates for seniors and free entry for children under five.
The facility maintains a specialized collection of 26,000 photographic prints and 7,000 negatives documenting global anthropological research and discoveries.
