We had an unforgettable tour with Mary as our guide. She gave us so much insight into art history some of the key works and especially David! She was very funny and it was a marvellous highlight of our trip. Strongly recommend. Our teens also loved it.

A good museum with some notable works by Michelangelo but not a lot else. The ticketing system is clunky and requires the app to be downloaded and open, and I had to go to a nearby travel agent to get a physical ticket vs just showing it on my phone.

Everything went OK with Headout, and of course the visit to the Accademia was memorable, what I do not understand is the necessity to book the tickets through an external partner, paying an unnecessary extra cost, as the tickets directly through the Accademia were fully sold out on our dates, and the other options were through external partners, paying double what the real ticket cost

The experience was wonderful! In the office where they gave us the tickets we were treated in a very friendly and nice way! Very fast no waiting no queues we entered the museum without problems, and the truth was beautiful to be there and observe these incredible works of art.

I was concerned about the voucher exchange for entrance tickets, but it took 10 seconds. The shop across from the entry looked at my phone with the headout info, and gave me two tickets and we got in line. It was much smoother than I imagined.

Your experience

Enter the Accademia Gallery and find yourself in the heart of Renaissance brilliance. Located between two ancient monasteries, the gallery immerses you immediately in art and history. Begin in the Hall of the Colossus, where Giambologna’s marble sculpture Rape of the Sabines takes center stage, surrounded by paintings from masters like Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Perugino. Walk onward to the Hall of the Prisoners, a room that holds four of Michelangelo's captivating unfinished sculptures—Atlas, Bearded Slave, Awakening Slave, and Young Slave—each revealing traces of the artist’s vision, forever frozen in stone.

Moving through the gallery, you’ll encounter the Tribune, where Michelangelo’s David stands in all his glory under a radiant skylight. This legendary sculpture, with its powerful and meticulous detail, captivates every viewer, transforming even the most casual visitor into an admirer. Nearby, the Museum of Musical Instruments offers another dimension of history, showcasing over 50 extraordinary pieces from the Grand Ducal Collection. Here, you’ll see creations like a harpsichord by Bartolomeo Cristofori, credited as the inventor of the piano, and a tenor viola crafted by the renowned Antonio Stradivari.
