The four Michelangelo masterpieces alone are reason enough to put the Bargello Palace on your list of things to do in Florence. 

Works by Donatello, the della Robbias, Cellini, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, and 14th- to 16th-century Tuscan artists fill the palace, along with a room of ivory carvings and a collection of majolica. 

An entire room is filled with enamels and gold work, a Florentine specialty during the Renaissance. 

This emphasis on decorative arts and sculpture sets the Bargello apart from the rest of Florence's art museums
