The ‘Gallery of the Academy of Florence’, also known as Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze, is an iconic art museum in Florence, Italy, renowned for housing Michelangelo’s David masterpiece. Aside from this exquisite sculpture, it boasts additional pieces by Michelangelo and an extensive compilation of artwork by Florentine painters, primarily from the 1300-1600 span, the Trecento to the Late Renaissance period.

Although it’s comparatively smaller and more specialized than Florence’s principal art gallery, the Uffizi, the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze is situated adjacent to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, known as Accademia di Belle Arti. Nonetheless, there is no direct affiliation between the two apart from their shared name.
