Review:
Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, referred to as the Museum of the Works of the Cathedral in English, is a Florentine museum that showcases original artworks created for the city's Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.
The museum is located adjacent to the cathedral on its east side, originally opened to the public in 1891 on the site of the construction of Michelangelo's world-renowned David sculpture.
Today, it is considered to house one of the world's most significant sculpture collections, home to pieces such as Lorenzo Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise baptistery doors. Works by famed Renaissance artists such as Donatello, Buonarroti, and Verrocchio are also housed within the museum's collection, which is the largest collection of Florentine Renaissance sculptures in the world.
