Full description

The Galleria dell'Accademia is best known as the home of Michelangelo's David, displayed beneath a tribune with seating behind the statue. Alongside it stand his unfinished Prisoners sculptures, a collection of Renaissance paintings and a small display of historic musical instruments.

Allow around 75 minutes to see the main works at a comfortable pace.
