We arrived at the La Academia 15 minutes early. There was a long line of people waiting. We were whisked in immediately. Tickets really did get us front of the line. Seeing David is just incredible! An experience I will not forget.

Excellent communication from the guide and very friendly. The visit was fabulous and because of the low season we were able to be very close to most of the works. An excellent experience and a very good option for those who plan to visit the museum.View original review in Spanish

We got in on time and saw everything we wanted to see. It was not crowded and we took our time to see everything.
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.
