La Galleria dell'Accademia preserves some of Michelangelo's celebrated sculptures: David, the i Prigioni group and St. Matthew. Also belonging to this gallery are paintings of religious subjects by the grand masters of Florence and surrounding areas from the latter half of the 1200s to the end of the 1500s. In particular, the collection of paintings on wood with golden backgrounds is absolutely unique. www.polomuseale.firenze.it
