The Gallery is particularly famous for
its sculptures by Michelangelo: the
Prisoners, the St. Matthew and,
especially, the statue of David which
was transferred here, to the specially
designed tribune, from Piazza della
Signoria in 1873.
In the adjacent rooms, which were part
of two former convents, important works
of art were collected here in the 19th
century from the Academy of Design, the
Academy of Fine Arts and from suppressed
convents.
There is also a collection of sculptures
in plaster by the 19th-century sculptors
Lorenzo Bartolini and Luigi Pampaloni,
besides a section of Russian icons.
Recently the Gallery has been further
enriched by the important collection of
old musical instruments from the
Cherubini Conservatory.
