What makes it 63% Kids-Friendly: Kids enter free or reduced, enjoy video mapping and medieval props, yet many stairs, text-heavy displays, and no play area reduce comfort, so it best fits ages 8–12.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Families can explore all three floors and interactive exhibits at a relaxed pace without rushing younger children.
Multimedia Exhibition:
Explore seven rooms with video mapping, VR scenes and interactive displays about Dante’s life and Florence in 1300s.
Tip: Let kids take turns with the VR headsets and plan 15 minutes for the full sensory show in Room 7.
Family Guided Tour:
Join a 60-minute tour tailored for children, covering Dante’s adventures and medieval city life.
Tip: Book at least 3 days in advance and ask the guide to focus on stories and visual details for kids.
Explore Dante’s Birthplace:
Walk through the recreated rooms of Dante’s original home and view family portraits and period artifacts.
Tip: Point out the illustrated family albums to spark younger kids’ curiosity.
Summer afternoons can feel warm in the narrow alleys—visit early or late. Winter mornings are quieter but check holiday hours.

The most useless museum I’ve ever been! Spoiler : The are no personal belongings of Dante, there are no furniture. Nothing! Only if you like to watch tv - you will enjoy!

This is a very cool, unique and historical museum. The collection is impressive, the items are very well preserved and displayed. It’s sad that Dante had to flee Florence and couldn’t return but his house is a very special place to visit. I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely recommend visiting this amazingly historical museum.
