There are two main museums in Florence that are worth visiting. In my last trip to Florence, I've chosen the Accademia. The reason behind this decision is because of the Statue of David by Michelangelo. The gallery is perhaps best-known for Michelangelo's David, removed after four centuries from Piazza Signoria, now exhibited in a specially constructed hall. Personally, I have come across many replicas of the statue, from places as far as Gold Coast Australia. The place is not huge, may only take up to 1 1/2 to finish looking at all the exhibition, but you will find many works by the famous Michelangelo. Some examples are his "Slave" series and his sculpture of San Matteo. Also featured in the gallery is an impressive collection of religious paintings from the 13th to 16th century.

Having been here myself on several occasions, there is loads more information you could provide about this excellent museum, especially to give advice about best times to get a decent view of "David" etc. Happy to re-rate if more info added.

Sorry but you haven't included the cost, length of your visit, if you think it was worth the money, or even much about what is actually there. If you update leave me a message.
