"The Cathedral Works Museum Florence’s wonderful Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Cathedral Works Museum) is open to the public with double its original floor space and a new contemporary look. The unique collection of works by masters such as Donatello, Michelangelo, Luca della Robbia, and Lorenzo Ghiberti includes statuary from the Duomo, bell tower, and Baptistery as well as models and other exhibits relating to the building of one of the world's largest cathedrals. Showstoppers include the bronze panels from the Baptistery's doors, gleaming from their recent cleanup; Donatello’s emotive Mary Magdalene ; the two exquisite cantorie (choir lofts) by Donatello and della Robbia; and a vast scale replica of the Duomo's original facade, ripped down in 1587."
