Went with my mate to Florence for a break a couple of years ago and I thought this little gem might be of interest. It wasn't in our guidebook and we stummbled on it by chance.
It's called the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum Activities and unlike most museums they have built, in wood, working models of most of his inventions and you can play with them...turn handles, pull levers etc. Brilliant fun for all ages but especially if you have kids who are sick to death of churches
Unfortunately their website is all in Italian...

...but I did bring back a bilingual leaflet and have now got around to scanning it so here's a link to it on my webshots page...it is readable if you magnify the image...
