Visiting the Accademia means immersing yourself in the art of Michelangelo.

In addition to Slaves by the sublime artist, you can find other gems, such as the original plaster cast of Giambologna’s Rape of the Sabine Women; the magnificent collection of musical instruments that belonged to the Medici family, including a rare Stradivarius and the world’s oldest piano, as well as many examples of Florentine 15th- and 16th-century painting, with art by greats such as Paolo Uccello, Botticelli, Perugino, Filippino Lippi and Ghirlandaio.
