The Galleria dell´Accademia in Florence is the most famous museum in the city because there you can find the famous David of Michelangelo.
In 1873 the sculpture of the great Italian sculptor was taken to the museum from the Piazza della Signoria because there it was exposed and such work of art had to be protected and restored by specialists.
But there are also other works by Michelangelo in the Galleria dell´Accademia like, for example, St. Matthew and the Prisoners. Previously the building was a group of convents and when it was converted into a museum, various works of the Fine Arts Academy and the Design Academy were taken there to be exhibited.
Other famous artists that exhibit in this museum in Florence are Lorenzo Bartolini and Luigi Pampaloni. There are works made in marble, plaster, acrylic paintings on canvas and oil paintings.
It´s important for the tourist to know that it´s open every day of the year except on Mondays, Christmas Day, New Year´s Day and May 1st. For that, organize your trip to get to Florence on Tuesday so that you cannot miss out on knowing one of the most amazing sculptures by Michelangelo, which is the great David.
Rent apartments in Florence and go out and visit its museums.
