The Academia is the museum that houses the most famous sculptures by Michelangelo: the "David", the "Slaves", and "St. Mathew". Michelangelo carved the "David" out of a tall and narrow block of marble which took him a little more than two years to finish. The sculpture stands about 18 feet high. VERY impressive!!!
looks like yall seeing alot of art! good for the brain! robert
ReplyDeleteMrs. McClung,
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool that you saw artwork by so many famous artists. The Uffizi Gallery sounds amazing! The Academia museum sounds exciting too. Michelangelo's sculptures are so detailed! I wish I could see some of them in person. Maybe I will someday. It sounds like your having a great trip. I can't wait to see the books you bought!
