Tuesday afternoon


Following our trip to Pisa, we stopped by the Archeological museum to see their collection of Egyptian artifacts, it really is a beautiful collection and one that I think is often overlooked because of the numerous other things to see and do in Florence. If you are headed to Florence, definitely put this on your list of things not to miss....unless of course you have actually been to Egypt.

The collection contains more than 14,000 artifacts, including a partial New Testament Papyrus of John 12






Here is the Wiki description : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Archaeological_Museum_(Florence)
