Experience the Accademia with Dex

The Accademia Dex experience is an interactive self-guided tour available exclusively with selected Accademia admission tickets booked through Headout.

Put on your earphones and follow a story that unfolds through the gallery’s halls, connecting Michelangelo’s David and the unfinished Prisoners with the panel paintings, plaster casts, and instruments that most visitors pass on the way.

Historical and fictional characters lead you through stories of the block of marble other sculptors abandoned; the figures Michelangelo left half-emerging from stone; the Medici patrons and Florentine workshops behind the collection; the Gipsoteca casts of Lorenzo Bartolini; and the gold-ground painters who worked before the Renaissance, accompanied by original music and immersive sound design.

  • Dex uses your phone’s location to guide you along a recommended route covering the Hall of the Colossus, the Gallery of the Prisoners, the Tribune of the David, the Gipsoteca Bartolini, and the rooms of Florentine Gothic painting.
  • As you reach each location, it automatically begins the story connected to what you are seeing.
  • The route is only the starting point. When a painting, a tool mark, or a face in the marble catches your attention, pause and ask your Dex guide a question.
  • Photograph a supported sculpture, panel, or architectural detail to uncover more about it, open a related story, or return to the route when you are ready.
  • Dex also points you towards recommended viewpoints, photo spots, and parts of the collection that are easy to hurry past. You decide when to pause, where to go deeper, and when to continue.

How Dex differs from an audio guide and a group tour

An audio guide gives you a collection of prepared recordings. Dex builds those stories into a location-aware route, automatically connects them to what is around you, and lets you ask questions or investigate supported objects along the way.

A group tour gives you live interpretation from a human guide while following a scheduled departure, sharedroute,e and group pace.

Dex offers a different experience: a structured tour that you can begin when you choose, pause whenever something interests you, and explore at your own pace. Choose Dex if you want the direction and storytelling of a guided visit with the freedom to explore the gallery independently.

Unlock Accademia Dex

Selected Accademia admission tickets booked through Headout unlock the complete Accademia Dex experience at no additional cost. It is not available as a standalone purchase or with tickets bought elsewhere.

After booking:

  • Download the Dex app.
  • Sign in with your Headout details.
  • The Accademia experience will unlock automatically.
