Accademia

Originally created as an art school, the Accademia today contains masterpieces by Venetian painting up to the 18th century, as well as religious paintings by major artists working in and around Florence between the mid-13th and the late 16th century.

The Gallery is particularly famous for its sculptures by Michelangelo: the Prisoners, the St.Matthew and, especially, the statue of David which was transferred here, to the specially designed tribune, from Piazza della Signoria in 1873.

The museum is open from Tuesday-Sunday, 8:15-18:50.
