You’ll also discover a section dedicated to applied arts divided by categories, and admire 2500 art pieces that belong to Louis Carrand’s collection, all of which were donated in 1888.

The museum spreads over three floors. The ground floor features the courtyard and Michelangelo’s hall (Sala di Michelangelo), whereas the first floor is dedicated to Donatello (the large Sala di Donatello) and boasts various galleries devoted to Islamic art, the Chapel, Sala degli Avori, Sala del Trecento and Sala delle Maioliche Italiane.
