We a bit of an issue finding Headout's location, & should have paid better attention to.the map vs the written instructions. Entry was great, not having to stand in the long line. Entering earlier the better. I appreciated the abundance of seating in the museum, especially in the area of David, which is always crowded. Because David is elevated, you were always able to take unobstructed photos despite the crush of people. The staff were very helpful in guiding us to specific exhibits.

Time-stamped ticket avoids normal queuing. Very easy to collect tickets from the Florence Specialists agency. I've booked several times on Head Out, the site works well, is reliable and the directions are clear.

The exhibits demonstrated very well the great craftsmanship during the medieval times. The detailing right to the veins and muscle of David was clearly visible. It is so real.

The statue of David is amazing. Glad we didn't have to wait in a long queue. Thought we would have a guide, but we didn't

Marie was a terrific guide. She made the experience of viewing the artwork meaningful by putting it in context. She also had a lively personality and we felt very pleased with the experience.

Museum halls you shouldn't miss

The hall also features paintings by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Perugino, and many more artists. The Hall of the Prisoners, a special memoir dedicated to the unfinished works of Michelangelo, houses the 4 sculptures, Atlas, Bearded Slave, Awakening Slave and, Young Slave. The most famous hall in the Accademia, The Tribune, houses the legendary David by Michelangelo.
