You are allowed to stay in the museum as long as you would like after entrance. You should plan for approximately 30 minutes for your visit, as the museum is small in size and collection.

In 1873, Michelangelo's famous statue David was moved to a specially designed room in the Galleria dell'Accademia from his position in front of Palazzo Vecchio, where he had stood since Michelangelo's time. Preparations were underway for an 1875 exhibition on Michelangelo to celebrate the great master's 400th birthday, after which the Accademia would become a museum dedicated to Michelangelo. Though the collection has since expanded to include works ranging from Florentine Gothic painting to Russian icons as well as Italian Renaissance and Baroque works by Jacopo da Pontormo, Ghirlandaio, and others, it is still primarily known for Michelangelo's David.
