EXPLORE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ACCADEMIA GALLERY

Located in the heart of Florence, the Accademia Gallery is home to one of the world's most famous works of art: Michelangelo's David, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture.
Originally placed beside Palazzo Vecchio, the city's town hall, the statue was transferred from Piazza della Signoria to the Accademia Gallery in 1873.
Sculpted in marble by the young Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504, David symbolizes the defense of the civil liberties of the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened by rival powers and the growing influence of the Medici family.
After discovering the history and artistic significance of David, admire Michelangelo's famous unfinished sculptures, the Prisoners, St. Matthew and the Pietà, which offer a fascinating insight into the artist's creative process.
If time allows, you'll also explore other remarkable works on display, including 13th to 16th-century religious paintings, 19th-century plaster sculptures and a collection of historic musical instruments from the Cherubini Conservatory.
