Accademia Gallery tickets, reserved in advance

Begin your journey into the heart of Renaissance art with a self-guided visit to the Accademia Gallery in Florence. Meet your tour leader at the designated meeting point in front of the gallery, where you will receive your pre-booked entrance tickets. Once the tickets have been handed over, you will be free to explore the museum independently, at your own pace and without a guide. Admire the gallery’s extraordinary collection and discover its most celebrated masterpiece, Michelangelo’s David, an iconic sculpture that embodies the pinnacle of Renaissance art.

See Michelangelo’s David in Florence

Discover one of the most famous sculptures in the world that has become the symbol of Renaissance splendour. Michelangelo’s original masterpiece, David, dominates the central gallery of the museum and you can admire it from every perspective. David was sculpted by Michelangelo in his twenties from a single block of Carrara marble and stands at 5.17 metres tall (17 feet). It represents the biblical hero David who killed Goliath and when unveiled in 1504, it came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic.

Beyond the David: masterpieces of the Accademia

There’s more than just David in the Accademia Gallery. Along the Hall of the Prisoners you’ll find Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures, figures that seem to emerge from the stone. The gallery also holds paintings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance by artists such as Botticelli, Paolo Uccello and Andrea del Sarto, with commentary from your audio guide.
