Furthermore you can find an important collection of Florentine paintings ranging from the 14th to the 16th century, the Gipsoteca with its plaster models of the 19th century from the Academy of Arts, the section dedicated to musical instruments and, last but not least, the imposing model of the Rape of the Sabine Women by Jean de Boulogne.
