Replica of Michelangelo's David (c1910). Marble. 520. Replicas of Michelangelo's David have been made numerous times, in plaster, imitation marble, fibreglass, snow, and other materials. There are many full-sized replicas of the statue around the world, perhaps the most prominent being the one in the original's position in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy, placed there in 1910. The original sculpture was moved indoors in 1873 to the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where it attracts many visitors. Others were made for study at art academies in the late nineteenth century and later, while the statue has also been replicated for various commercial reasons or as artistic statements in their own right. Smaller replicas are often considered kitsch. The bronze cast of David in Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence, is flanked by casts of the reclining figures in the Medici Chapel. A plaster cast copy in the Cast Courts at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London was intended for the education of art students, and had a detachable fig leaf, used for added modesty during visits by Queen Victoria and other important ladies, when it was hung on the figure using two strategically placed hooks. There is a cast in Park Den Brandt in Antwerp. Pushkin Museum in Moscow. A bronze cast stands in front of the Kongelige Afstobningssamling, the Danish Royal Cast Collection at the Langelinie Promenade in Copenhagen, though it could not be placed more prominently due to misspelling the artist as Michael Angelo in the plaque. In 2007, Marklin produced a Z scale bronze replica of the statue, which stood approximately 1.6 inches tall. The statue accompanied the museumswagen for that year, a collector car offered in the Marklin museum in Goppingen to celebrate the German foundry Strassacker. In 2016, Nadey Hakim produced a bronze bust of the statue. The replica is permanently exhibited at the Monterchi Museum, Italy. The museum is the home of the renowned Madonna del Parto which is Piero della Francesca's most famous piece. In 2018, the technology brand Samsung reimagined Michelangelo's David as a domestic god standing on top of a washing machine as part of an advertising campaign which toured the parks and plazas of London. A copy of David was presented to the city of Buffalo, New York, and the Buffalo Historical Society by Andrew Langdon, a businessman and scholar. Langdon had seen the statue on exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900; negotiating with the Neapolitan firm of bronze founders who had cast it, he bought it and exacted an agreement that they would not send another to the United States. The statue now stands in Delaware Park. A bronze copy can be found in the Plaza Reo de Janeiro of Mexico City's Colonia Roma. It has become a symbol of the neighborhood. A scale replica can be found at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. It is in the school's older building which primarily functions as a museum, but has several casts for the students' use. Also intended for students was the cast in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A bronze replica stands in the courtyard of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida. There is a full-scale replica of David on the campus of California State University, Fullerton that lies broken in pieces on the ground. It was brought from Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress to campus by a professor in 1988 after it was damaged in the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Visitors often touch the remains of the sculpture for tactile study or, in a new student tradition, the dislocated but upturned butt for good luck on final exams. Three replicas of David once stood at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The most recent David toppled in 2020 due to design flaws and deterioration. It replaced an earlier version which stood from 1971 to its toppling from the Northridge earthquake in 1994. Also in southern California, a resident of the Hancock Park neighbourhood in Los Angeles has decorated his house and grounds with twenty-three reduced scale replicas of the statue, all retaining different facial expressions. A replica may be found at the Appian Way Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. A bronze replica is in Fawick Park in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In 1965, David Sollazzini and Sons of Florence, Italy created a Carrara marble replica for the Palace of Living Art at the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, California. The marble used for this replica was taken from Michelangelo's own quarry near Pietrasanta. This replica was later sold to Ripley Entertainment for the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in St. Augustine, Florida.
