We arrived, found our tour operator, received tickets, followed the the line of people inside the gallery, bags checked, then into the gallery. Photographed David, toured the gallery, bought postcards from the shop and exited.

The museum visit was great! However, we almost didn't get in because although very clear, helpful instructions had been provided for meeting our guide, he was not at the designated place when we arrived. It was only by chance that we happened to find him, with help from another company's guide, right at the last minute, in a different part of the street. He also was not wearing the red badge that we were looking for, so it was a bit stressful.

Museum as well laid out, very good information about the exhibits and a wonderful display of art. The statue of David is even more impressive when you see it in person.

Beautiful venue, but the literature to schedule the tour indicated a 1 hour tour, not just a ticket to access the venue and have a shorter line. The advert in the online materials was not accurate. The information at the site, was unclear from the hosts and you were plopped into a line (at double the cost of the entrance fee) and left.

World-famous masterpieces

Travel to the Renaissance past

Dive into the golden age of paintings, and notice brush stories from up close as you admire paintings made from the 13th century to the 19th century by several Old Masters.

13th - early 15th century: Walk into a space sparkling gold from the gold ground paintings - artworks with all or most of the background painted in solid gold.
15th century: Ever wondered what late-gothic paintings look like? Take a look at Lorenzo Monaco's art as you stroll the paintings section at the museum.
16th - 17th century: You'll get a glimpse of this time from the artworks by Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo. Also, take in the beauty of the intricate altarpieces from this era.

Dive into the history of music

Collected from dukes and aristocrats from Tuscany, Medici, and Lorraine over the 17th to 19th century, you'll find over 50 rare and antique musical instruments in this section. You'll see the Psaltery - an ancient instrument made entirely of different types of marble. Head to the multimedia stations to feed your curiosity. Listen to the different sounds of these instruments, some of which were popular during the Florentine grand duchy.
