Galleria Dell'Accademia

The main attraction here is the Michelangelo statue of David. Michelangelo chose to capture the tense moments prior to the struggle with Goliath. The face is not relaxed but reveals the kind of apprehension you'd expect before facing a giant. The statue which is about three times an adult size gets an entire room to itself.
The museum has a music room with 50 antique instruments including the first pianos invented and also a Stradivarius violin.Otherwise there are many medieval paintings and half-completed sculptures.

This is the scene of the death of Leonardo
