Art, history & more
Located at the intersection of two ancient monasteries, the Accademia is known for housing Michelangelo's greatest works along with other works from renowned artists. Explore the various zones and take in the creative artistic expression that radiates through the halls filled with art.
Museum halls you shouldn't miss
The first hall, once you enter the gallery, is the Hall of the Colossus, which houses the stunning marble sculpture of 'Rape of the Sabines' by Giambologna. The hall also features paintings by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Perugino, and many more artists. The Hall of the Prisoners, a special memoir dedicated to the unfinished works of Michelangelo, houses the 4 sculptures, Atlas, Bearded Slave, Awakening Slave and, Young Slave. The most famous hall in the Accademia, The Tribune, houses the legendary David by Michelangelo. Placed in the center under a bright skylight, the halo-like dome is a spectacular sight capable of reducing the mightiest individuals to mere spectators.
Venture into the world of rhythm and music as you discover the surreal Grand Ducal Collection of over 50 musical instruments inside the Museum of Musical Instruments. Explore the collection of string, wind, and harpsichord instruments on display, including the piano by Bartolomeo Cristofori and the tenor viola by Antonio Stradivari.
