Like the majority of buildings in Florence, Accademia Gallery isn’t the youngest. Pietro Leopoldo, Grand Duke of Tuscany, founded the gallery in 1784.
Initially, the gallery served as an additional teaching facility for the Academy of Fine Arts. Before that, the halls were used as a hospital and a convent. Step by step, paintings and sculptures came to decorate the many walls of the gallery. Today, the gallery displays a plethora of paintings, tapestries, and sculptures. For instance, in the 50s, the gallery opened The Hall of Colossus and Byzantine-style rooms displaying 1300 panel paintings. More recently, in 2001, the gallery opened Museo Degli Strumenti Musicali featuring hundreds of antique musical instruments.
