Great artists like Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michelangelo and many others, all worked to realize one of the most important artworks in world. Emblem, with its Baptistry of the revolutionary art's movement called "The Renaissance", the Cathedral of Florence became the symbol of this time with the huge dome, invented by Filippo Brunelleschi... but we cannot forget other art-works inside, including the Crypth.
The museum was created since many centuries ago as deposit of some art-works that should be removed from the Cathedral and the Baptistry but, with the passing of time, the place became always more important that was remodelled many times, the last one few years ago, when was realized one of the greatest and wonderful museums in the world.
