Lonely Planet review

More than the silver in the name, this museum in Palazzo Pitti exhibits the massive private wealth of the Medici dynasty - at least, what wasn't sold off by the Lorraines when they took over - and ranges from intricate jewellery to a chalice made from ostrich eggs. The centrepiece is a spectacular collection of antique pietra dura (semiprecious stone) vases.
