About
The Museo Stibbert is a museum on Via Frederick Stibbert on the hill of Montughi in Florence, Italy. It contains over 36,000 artefacts, including a vast collection of armour from Eastern and Western civilisations. The museum was founded by Frederick Stibbert (1838–1906). His father was English and his mother Italian; he received his education in England. The Stibbert family's extreme wealth came from Frederick's grandfather, Giles Stibbert, who was the commander in chief for the British East India Company in Bengal at the end of the 18th century and ruled as governor for many years. Frederick Stibbert inherited the entire estate from his grandfather and did not work for the rest of his life. Instead, he dedicated his life to collecting objects, antiques and artefacts, and turned his villa into a museum.
