The Bargello is a smaller museum which features sculpture and, in particular, works by Donatello (though Giambologna is also well represented). It is a very pleasant museum, nicely organized, and provides a nice contrast with the big two museums (Uffizi and Accademia). It is not crowded. You don't need to reserve admission time.
