Bargello Museum in Florence

The Bargello Museum (Museo in Italian) was an old prison converted to a museum over 200 years ago. The museum houses a variety of art including beautiful paintings by Bernini, Van Dyck, and Rueben, sculptures by Donatello and Robbia, and pottery by various artisans. An entire room was dedicated to ancient armour.
