The experience was really good the guide had alot of knowledge that was beneficial My only problem the purchase said 11:15am and it was 1hr long. So i went with that information. To plan my day However it started minutes to 12pm and finished close to 1pm. I had to rush to my next event and did not get to fully appreciate the rest of the Gallery.

Seeing the David with your own eyes is really incredible, the size, details and shape is indescribable. In addition, the paintings found in the gallery are very beautiful, deep and with impressive nuances, it is worth entering and admiring the art found there.

I'm sure I clicked on the link that the audio was included with this expensive ticket price but sadly we had to pay extra for the audio set at the Accademia.

I had issues downloading the app, and it wasat least half an hour into the visit before I managed to sort it out. Staff should make sure everyone is ready before herding us in.

Both! This was a very informative way to see Accademia Gallery and to get more context into the life and personality of Michelangelo. Our guide was excellent.

Your experience

Art, history & more

Located at the intersection of two ancient monasteries, the Accademia is known for housing Michelangelo's greatest works along with other works from renowned artists. Explore the various zones and take in the creative artistic expression that radiates through the halls filled with art.

Museum halls you shouldn't miss

The first hall, once you enter the gallery, is the Hall of the Colossus, which houses the stunning marble sculpture of 'Rape of the Sabines' by Giambologna. 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. Placed in the center under a bright skylight, the halo-like dome is a spectacular sight capable of reducing the mightiest individuals to mere spectators.

Venture into the world of rhythm and music as you discover the surreal Grand Ducal Collection of over 50 musical instruments inside the Museum of Musical Instruments. Explore the collection of string, wind, and harpsichord instruments on display, including the piano by Bartolomeo Cristofori and the tenor viola by Antonio Stradivari.

You can choose to upgrade your tickets to include hosted entry and/or audio guides. Go for hosted entry to skip the hassles of the admission process; with a host by your side, you will breeze through entry lines like a pro! Audio guides fill our tour with tidbits from the artist's life, historical context, the story behind each masterpiece, and a newfound appreciation for art. These pre-recorded bits of wisdom can be consumed in the language and pace of your comfort!
