INFORMATION ABOUT THE THREE MUSEUMS THAT JOIN TO THE INITIATIVE:
Thought for the small visitors, didactic activities and games inside the historical museum.
Il Museo dei Ragazzi is dedicated to the children from three years old, the adolescents and the families. Inside Palazzo Vecchio five laboratories and interactives ateliers have been prepared, here you can construct dispositives, simulate situations, play, make experiments, with a group of young people and prepared entertainers. The laboratories are carried out during the weekdays and are reserved for the schools. The ateliers, instead, are opened on Saturday and Sunday and are thought for groups of children and adults. Here the five laboratories-atelier in the detail:
.Architectures of Palace: experiences and devices in order to discover the
secrets of the architecture.
.The dress and the body: the discovery of the conception of the body in the VI
century through the clothing of the granducale family.
.The magic of the lenses dedicated to Galileo and the invention of the telescope.
.Horror Vacui?, dedicated to Torricelli and the experiences in the vacuum.
.The room of games of Bia and Garcia, the space for smaller children. Here in
addition to the Theatre of the Shadows and to the activity of construction of
fantastic objects, games, disguises, will be possible to participate at the show
"Lapo and the Duca".
In the laboratories every argument is faced in a rational and scientific way, but at the same time it's simple and winning. Their key element is the interactivity: the children can maneuver architectonic pieces, dress up like small dukes, play with lenses or experiment in the vacuum. Therefore in every laboratory the children take an active part of the "game".

Nothing better, of involving parents and kids in the theater space “Civiltà
del Rinascimento a Firenze”, that has place in some of the Mezzanino locals of
the V century and offers a series of show initiatives. The
visitor-spectators-actors of these laboratories-atelier will be able to live
again the situations and to meet the personages of a time, in particular Cosimo
de'Medici and the wife Eleonora da Toledo with their court, also in the moments
and in the places in which they carried out their private life.
For the smallest, from the 3 years old, remains always valid the initiative of
the Room of History of Bia and Garcia - theater space dedicated to the two of
the sons of Cosimo de' Medici and Eleonora da Toledo. In this atmosphere they
will be able to not only observe the objects that already on their own tell
about the life of the past but, above all, to listen to the stories that will
stimulate they imagination thanks to the magical atmosphere created from the
Theatre of the Shadows. They will be able therefore to listen to the narrations
that take cue from real facts or personages jumped out from paintings, like "The
history of the wonderful scale of the Duke Gualtieri" and the new " Challenge of
the wizards of the light and the shadow "and" the history of the theft in the
Studiolo of Francesco I".
Painting lessons for children, teenagers and adults may be booked in one workshop located in the center of Florence.
