We avoided long lines in the sun with a timed entry. The staff outside were friendly and helpful. Michaelangelo's masterpiece, The David, is always breathtaking.

Truly a memorable experience. Even our teenagers were enthralled with all the artwork! We liked the Accademia better than the Ufizzi, frankly.

The exhibit was amazing. The tour guides were great at getting everyone organized and into the museum during a very busy and hot season.

The hosts were responsive and friendly. We arrived early and were able to enter the museums almost immediately. We're just a little dubious about the rate paid versus the rate displayed at the museum ticket offices on site.

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!
