It's not so much a Galileo Museum as it is a Renaissance Science Museum as there is only one section dedicated to Galileo. With that being said, walking through the historical scientific instruments is a delight for any math/science lover. It also has almost no crowd and, although still overpriced, cheaper than almost all of the museums in Florence. Also, why is there no nod to Isaac Newton, considering most of the time period is the 18th and 19th centuries?

The Galileo Museum is a gem for science enthusiasts. It’s packed with unique instruments you won’t find in textbooks, diving deep beyond basic science and geography lessons. Not much crowds when we visited at around 11am. Had some fun in the interactive exhibit room at the end. I wished there were more interactive exhibits. It's rather warm inside the museum. There is ample seating and folding stools are also available for quick breaks. The toilets are located just before the exit (1 male 1 female). Museum needs to clean them more often. Lockers are available, as bags aren’t allowed inside. Plan to spend at least an hour here. A must-visit for anyone curious about scientific history.

Needed a tourist guide or some audio guide in English to understand what you are looking at. They do have a wifi to install a museum app that tells you on just a few items what they are. Im not science major, but I am glad I visited. I found quite a few items extraordinary.
