Trivia: The Accademia Gallery is best known as the home of which sculpture?
“Apollo Belvedere” by Montorsoli
“David” by Michelangelo
“Venus de Milo” by Alexandros
“Moses” by Michelangelo
The correct answer is “David” by Michelangelo
So why is this answer correct? : Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the Accademia Gallery to see “David,” Michelangelo’s most famous work of art, each year. “David” was moved to the museum in 1873 to preserve the magnificent Renaissance sculpture. Before then, the statue had stood outside in the Piazza della Signoria since 1504. The section of the gallery that houses the sculpture today is known as the Tribune, featuring a bright skylight that highlights the statue.
