Explore the Accademia Gallery
The Accademia Gallery is a treasure trove of unique, culturally-significant artwork. They provide an in-depth perspective on the influence of religion, economic conditions, and sexuality.
Hall of The Colossus
The first gallery you see when you enter the museum, the hall earned its name during the 19th century when it was home to a plaster-cast model of an ancient statue, the Dioscuri of Montecavallo. Today, the real star of the show here is Giambologna's magnificent sculpture, Rape of the Sabines which is surrounding works of art by Renaissance masters like Perugino and Botticelli.
The Tribune
The Tribune’s reputation precedes it: home to Michelangelo’s David, one of the most famous sculptures to have ever been created. One of the top-visited rooms at the Accademia, the Tribune offers a dramatic setting to admire the masterpiece from every angle with its domed ceiling and marble walls.
View the David at Accademia Gallery
The Hall of the Prisoners
This museum hall is named so after the ‘Slaves’ — four large nude sculptures created by Michelangelo, namely: Awakening Slave, Atlas, Bearded Slave, and Young Slave — housed here. This room, located towards the end of the exhibition route, was initially built to host classic paintings and then became an homage to Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures.
Gipsoteca Bartolini
The Gipsoteca Bartolini is a hall in the Accademia Gallery that showcases a selection of the finest 19th-century plaster casts by one of the most brilliant artists of his time, Lorenzo Bartolini, and his student, Luigi Pampaloni, as well as a collection of paintings and sculptures which were awarded by the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence.
Pacino’s Room
Pacino’s Room is the first of the three chambers on the left wing of Tribune that is dedicated to Florentine Gothic and Renaissance paintings from the 14th to the 16th century. Among the masterpieces on display is the Tree of Life by Bonaguida, works by 14th-century followers of Giotto, including Bernardo Daddi's large painted Crucifix and two of Taddeo Gaddi’s works illustrating Scenes from the Life of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi.
Giotteschi Room
This room is a treasure trove of artworks by Giotto and his students, known as the Giotteschi. The room houses six works by Giotto, including four panels from the Stefaneschi Altarpiece, as well as the Madonna and Child Enthroned. The rest of the artwork was created by those who followed Giotto's school of thought — to bring nature back into art.
Orcagna’s Room
The third and final room in the series of chambers showcasing paintings from Florence’s Gothic period is the Orcagna’s Room. It houses the work of four brothers: Andrea (nicknamed “Orcagna,” meaning “archangel”), Nardo, Matteo, and Jacopo di Cione. Many of their creations are altarpieces. One exceptional work is Jacopo di Cione's Coronation of the Virgin, commissioned by the magistrates of the Mint.
Museum of Musical Instruments
Playing host to the Grand Ducal Collection, the hall has about 50 ancient instruments on display that showcase the evolution of musical instruments over time. One can identify a variety of wind, string, and harpsichord instruments here, including perhaps the original piano, that were used in the day-to-day lives of the Medici family.
