#florence #museums #duomo #brunelleschidome I have purchased a Giotto pass while in Florence with access to the Giotto Tower which allows one to admire the magnificent Duomo dome as close as it gets. It also includes the visit to the Duomo Museum which I highly recommend. It is full of incredible textbook quality artwork and tells you about the lives and works of people who participated in building this architectural masterpiece. It has a separate area dedicated to the Dome and has a nice little film in Italian and English about how Brunelleschi was selected to become the architect.
