I was in the Academia last week with my family to see the statue. It cost us about $40 American for a family of five. Ouch!

It's a small museum, with a couple other notable pieces, most noteworthy being Michelangelo's unfinished prisoners or slave sculptures. Otherwise, not much to see besides the David.

Intermingled with the Renaissance art were a number of loathsome pieces of contemporary art. Most obnoxious was a version of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling containing the prominent naked figure of a Mr. Bean type man who had a tremendous "woodie." Kids were disgusted, but couldn't help staring at it. Kinda ruined the visit for me.

Disgusting! Hopefully, the powers that be will come to their senses someday and remove that trash.
