The Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or Gallery of the Academy of Florence, is best known as the home of Michelangelo’s sculpture “David.” However, the museum is also home to several other important sculptures by Michelangelo as well as a large collection of paintings by Florentine artists. Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero highlights this small but mighty museum that owns four of Michelangelo’s “Slave” sculptures, Pontormo’s Venus and Cupid, Maestro della Maddalena’s St. Mary Magdalene and Eight Stories of Her Life, and several Man of Sorrows images.
