Thanks to the collaboration with the AMLM Foundation, the museum guards a collection of original documents, printed books, manuscripts and many autographed Medici letters from the XV to the XVIII century.

The history of the Medici family is illustrated by a collection of original works of art. In addition to the portraits of the Grand Dukes, sculptures, bronzes, medals, drawings and pastels are exhibited.
