The museum was founded by Frederick Stibbert (1838–1906). 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 artifacts and turned his villa into a museum.

The Stibbert Museum is located on via Frederick Stibbert on the hill of Montughi in Florence, Italy. The museum contains over 36,000 artifacts, including a vast collection of armour from Eastern and Western civilizations.
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 artifacts and turned his villa into a museum. When the size of the collections outgrew the villa, Stibbert hired architect Giuseppe Poggi, painter Gaetano Bianchi and sculptor Passaglia to add on rooms. In 1906, when Stibbert died, his collection was given to the city of Florence and was opened to the public. Stibbert and his family are buried at Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori, Florence.
The villa, which was once Stibbert's home, has 57 rooms that exhibit all of his collections from around the world. Most of the walls are covered in leather and tapestries and the rooms are crowded with artifacts. Paintings are displayed throughout every room, including still lifes and portraits. There is also valuable furniture, porcelains, Tuscan crucifixes, Etruscan artifacts, and an outfit worn by Napoleon I of France. The museum contains a cafe and a bookstore.

Artist and Collector, Frederick Stibbert at Museo Stibbert
The Marist-LdM Institute master's students have collaborated with the Museo Stibbert to deliver this exhibition that follows the artistic career of the artist and collector.
The exhibition Frederick Stibbert Artist and Collector, shows a new aspect of the multi-faceted figure of Frederick Stibbert: his activity as an amateur painter combined with the collecting of 19th century painters.
He collected artworks of contemporary painters of his time, most of all genre paintings, historical subjects or romantic views. These artworks, together with his pictorial production, decorated the private rooms of his villa, such as the bedroom, the studio and the living rooms. After an introduction on the figure of the young Frederick and his pictorial training, works from artists of the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence are presented.
The Marist-LdM Institute students collaborated with the museum to assist on some essential parts of organising an exhibition such as the social media promotion. Studying museum studies means a practical hands-on experience like this is extremely valuable and the students have developed skills in a professional working environment.

Museo Stibbert a Firenze, la collezione Islamica
Una villa ottocentesca circondata da un giardino incantato ricco di fontane, statue e tempietti dal sapore romantico, ma anche cosparso di riferimenti esoterici. E' il Museo dello Stibbert di Firenze dove si trovano ricche collezioni di armi antiche e oggetti d'arte tra i più disparati.
Il museo espone in due sale la collezione di armi islamiche, provenienti dal Vicino e dal Medio Oriente mussulmano. Probabilmente un primo nucleo di oggetti erano già conservati in casa Stibbert, fin dai tempi del nonno di Frederick, comandante delle forze della Compagnia delle Indie e Governatore del Bengala durante la seconda metà del Settecento.
