"Galleria dell’Accademia is Florence’s most-visited museum right after the Uffizi Gallery, thanks largely to the original statue of Michelangelo’s famous David, housed here. You'd be remiss to skip his unfinished collection of Slaves, though, with torsos and limbs seeming to clamber their way out from marble. There are also large, mural-like pieces from Perugino, Filippino Lippi, Pontormo, Domenico Ghirlandaio, and Bronzino; and, downstairs, Florentine Gothic paintings, including altarpieces by Giotto." - Bridget Arsenault
