Sometimes I have the urge to tell people patiently waiting in line at the Uffizi to bag it and scoot around the corner to the Instituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza on Piazza dei Giudici, just down the street from the new exit of the Uffizi. It’s open nearly every day, including Mondays, and full admission for adults is 6.50 euro, less for children. There are no lines, the illustrated guide is clear and helpful, and the museum is one of the great quiet joys of Florence.
