Is Museo dell'Opera del Duomo worth it with kids?
SkipWith kids
With kids, give Museo dell'Opera del Duomo a miss.
This is the most underrated stop in Florence: modern, uncrowded, climate-controlled, and holding the original sculptures pulled off the cathedral for protection. The catch: it's already inside the Brunelleschi pass that everyone buys for the dome, yet most people skip it out of fatigue. If you have any interest in sculpture, it's the best-value culture hour in the city.
