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.

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.

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!
