One of the world's most famous museums, this painting gallery was started by the Medici family in the 16th century as a private collection. This massive gallery contains works by some of the most famous artist of all time, including Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio, and other masters of the Italian Middle Ages and Renaissance.
