It
was the Grand-Duke Pietro Leopoldo of the Lorraine family who founded
in 1784 the Academy for the study of the arts, and furnished it with a
paintings gallery together with the musical Conservatory Cherubini.
The Tribune is home to the David (1501-1504), sculptued by the still young artist. The statue was originally set up in the Signoria Square as symbol of the liberty of Florence, then replaced with a marble copy in 1873 and transferred to the Gallery. On display in the Gallery are also works of the Florentine painting of the period spanning the 13th-16th centuries which complete the visit to the Uffizi collection. The Gallery of Accademia includes also the Museum of Musical Instruments, the collection of Medicean and Lorenese old instruments (17th-19th) of the Conservatory Cherubini. |
