The Accademia created by the Medici was the first art school in the world and in here artists can still learn or improve their artistic skills. The Galleria dell'Accademia next door, provide sculptures and other masterpieces as  models for the art students and among the many masterpieces stands Michelangelo's David; moved here in 1873 for safe keeping and surrounded by many other statues that will inspire you as it did with generations of artists...

Far from the crowd of the Michelangelo's room, forgotten by the majority of visitors you will be amazed by the Medici's collection of musical instruments  and among them you will stand in front of the oldest piano in the world.
