Accademia Gallery
This gallery is renowned for its many sculptures by
Michelangelo, including his famous
David, yet you will also find religious themed paintings here. Its collection of panels painted over a gold background stand out in particular, being the only collection of its kind in the world.
The gallery was recently expanded and today is also home to the
Musical Instrument Department, with important, antique instruments from the
Cherubini Conservatory of Florence.
