From 1 September 2026, the University Museum System (SMA) will introduce updated admission prices and an expanded range of discounts.
To help us continue preserving our scientific heritage and providing you with the best possible visitor experience, we have made a small adjustment to our admission fees after more than 10 years without any price changes. At the same time, we have expanded our discounts and special offers to make our museums even more accessible to young people, families, and local residents.
What's new:
Special Rate for Local Residents: If you live in the Metropolitan City of Florence, you are always entitled to a reduced admission ticket.
- Junior Discount up to Age 19: Reduced admission is now available for visitors up to 19 years old (previously up to age 14).
- Unlimited “Ortocard”: Enjoy unlimited admission to the Botanical Garden for a full year,including events, for €40.
- One Pass for All Museums: A new combined pass, valid for 3 months, gives access to the entire SMA museum network, including “La Specola”.
