We booked 8:30 entry and that is when we entered. Worth the $$ not to have to wait in line! Recommend the audio guide. Written explanations are nice but audio really added to experience. Nice restrooms

Our Crown guide, Hershey, was spectacular. She was polite, super sweet and very helpful! She made our booking and entrance into the Gallery a breeze. She is great at what she does!

The exhibit made my visit memorable. We did not get a guide, it was total mayhem that day with huge crowds. It was a holiday and spring break. But it was an amazing experience to see the exhibit.

We arrived early and guide was able to get us in an earlier time slot. He was very polite and helpful. Made a great difference being able to ski the line and go straight into the gallery. Worth every cent

The tour staff was easy to find and very helpful. The guide for the Uffizi tour was very enlightening and offered valuable context for each piece of art. Easy access to those wonderful galleries.

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 centre 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.
