Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence

Galleria dell'Accademia is home to Michelangelo's David, a 5.17-meter marble masterpiece, alongside his unfinished Prisoners. This single sculpture draws 1.6 million visitors yearly, eclipsing the count of the Galleria Borghese (#3) by over 500,000. Its focus on Michelangelo's raw genius offers a more intimate experience than the Vatican Museums (#2).
