Florence is a treasure trove of some of the most imposing artworks in human history. The grand Statue of David by Michelangelo is one the top Florentine must-see landmarks. Booking Accademia Gallery guided tour ensures you will get the most out of your experience.  


Arriving at the indicated meeting point, you will check in and meet your expert guide. He or she will then lead you to enter the Accademia Gallery through a special entrance. You will get to skip the line, only stopping to pass through the Gallery’s compulsory security check.

The main highlight of the tour is visiting the Statue of David in the Accademia tribune. [readmore]

Your guide will explain the symbolism as well as the history of the statue of this biblical hero which took two years of hard work to finish. Besides Michelangelo's David, you will get to see Michelangelo’s other masterpiece, the Prisoners; the cast of Giambologna's Rape of the Sabines and Lo Scheggia’s Cassone Adimari panel.

History Sneak Peek

Like the majority of buildings in Florence, Accademia Gallery isn’t the youngest. Pietro Leopoldo, Grand Duke of Tuscany, founded the gallery in 1784.

Initially, the gallery served as an additional teaching facility for the Academy of Fine Arts. Before that, the halls were used as a hospital and a convent. Step by step, paintings and sculptures came to decorate the many walls of the gallery. Today, the gallery displays a plethora of paintings, tapestries, and sculptures. For instance, in the 50s, the gallery opened The Hall of Colossus and Byzantine-style rooms displaying 1300 panel paintings. More recently, in 2001, the gallery opened Museo Degli Strumenti Musicali featuring hundreds of antique musical instruments.
