There are many museums in Florence beyond the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Museums in Florence are can be divided into 3 types: those run by the Italian national government, which are called State museums, those run by the city which fall under the Florentine Civic Museums office (see the list of those here) or private (such as the Palazzo Strozzi, the Horne museum, the Stibbert Museum).
In order to help you sort out which are which, I've created a list below. This is particularly important when special openings occur, where free entry is offered into State museums only or only to Civic museums, and that's why you need to know which are which.
For example, since July 2014, ALL OF THE STATE MUSEUMS below offer FREE entrance to everyone on the FIRST SUNDAY of every month!!
