This museum's collection includes four invaluable Michelangelos and Donatello's famous bronze statue of David—a stunning depiction of a youthful hero. There are plenty of other lesser-known but equally impressive works here. Use the skip-the-line tickets to dive straight into yet another unmissable Renaissance museum in the Tuscan capital. Besides the Michelangelos and Donatello's masterpieces, you'll find sculptures by Benvenuto Cellini, Luca della Robbia, and Verrocchio, all drawing crowds to this stunning 13th-century building.
In a room dedicated solely to Michelangelo, you'll find his sculptures standing proudly in the center, surrounded by the artist's early works. Look out for intricate details and awe-inspiring artistry. This building has a history as remarkable as the works it contains. In the 18th century, fires, executions, and sieges all took place within its walls when it served as a formidable prison. Nowadays, it plays a much friendlier host to the grand ducal collections, Gothic decorative arts, and Donatello's early marble masterpieces in the 14th-century hall. You'll also be awed by Roman and Byzantine ivories, Renaissance jewels, and busts of Florentine personalities created by highly revered artists from the 15th century.
The Bargello has many names, so you might see it signposted as the Palazzo del Bargello, Museo Nazionale del Bargello, or Palazzo del Popolo (Palace of the People). No matter what it's called, this is one Florentine highlight your inner artist can't afford to miss.
