Entry was easy, which was good because 2 in our party are handicapped. There was seating to rest, and ramps with handrails that made moving around easier. And while the David exhibit was busy, it wasn't too busy to get clear views of the details. A great experiene.Keren

Loved being able to walk into the museum w/o a long wait. It was great to see David in person, and I really enjoyed the exhibit of the Musical Instruments.

My absolute favorite stop of my trip. Even though I have been before David still brings me to tears. Aside from David the museum has so many incredible pieces that are truly an honor in person. A trip to Florence is not complete without visiting la Galleria dell'Accademia.

Our tickets were for timed entry skipping all lines, and it worked perfectly. We were escorted from an office two blocks away to the rapid entry line, and it worked flawlessly. We did not use a guide within this museum, as it is a somewhat smaller museum and very easy to negotiate. Saving the time was worth everything!
Enter the Accademia Gallery and find yourself in the heart of Renaissance brilliance. Located between two ancient monasteries, the gallery immerses you immediately in art and history. Begin in the Hall of the Colossus, where Giambologna’s marble sculpture Rape of the Sabines takes center stage, surrounded by paintings from masters like Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Perugino. Walk onward to the Hall of the Prisoners, a room that holds four of Michelangelo's captivating unfinished sculptures—Atlas, Bearded Slave, Awakening Slave, and Young Slave—each revealing traces of the artist’s vision, forever frozen in stone.
Moving through the gallery, you’ll encounter the Tribune, where Michelangelo’s David stands in all his glory under a radiant skylight. This legendary sculpture, with its powerful and meticulous detail, captivates every viewer, transforming even the most casual visitor into an admirer. Nearby, the Museum of Musical Instruments offers another dimension of history, showcasing over 50 extraordinary pieces from the Grand Ducal Collection. Here, you’ll see creations like a harpsichord by Bartolomeo Cristofori, credited as the inventor of the piano, and a tenor viola crafted by the renowned Antonio Stradivari.
