The birth of the Gallery dates back to 1784, when the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo reorganised the ancient Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, founded in 1563 by Cosimo I de’ Medici, into the modern Accademia di Belle Arti. The new institution was to house a collection of ancient and modern paintings and sculptures in order to facilitate knowledge and study for the Academy’s young students.
