The Academy Gallery is one of the most famous museum of the Toscany region. It was built during the eighteenth century and it is situated not far from the Academy of Fine Arts, in the heart of Florence. This museum was commissioned by Pietro Leopoldo. This man wanted to unify all the school of drawing in Florence into a single Academy.

Then both the Academy Gallery and the future classrooms were designed and after restructured during the eighteenth century by Gaspare Maria Paoletti.

The Academy Gallery is very important because of its main statue of “David�, a work of art of Michelangelo.
