Review & FAQ:

Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, known as the Gallery of the Academy of Florence in English, is Italy's second-most-visited art museum after the Uffizi, attraction more than 1.4 million annual visitors.

The museum was originally founded by Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo in 1784 and is best known as the display site of the original sculpture of Michelangelo's David since 1873.

Though the museum was originally created as a display of Michelangelo works, it has become a general display museum of works by Florentine artists throughout the Trencento and Renaissance, including significant works by Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto.
