Tour description
As the second most visited museum in Italy, the Galleria dell’Accademia is home to the largest collection of Michelangelo’s sculptures, including the iconic original David, widely regarded as the most famous sculpture in the world.
Founded in the 18th century, the Galleria was established to allow students from the nearby Accademia di Belle Arti to study masterpieces up close. When the David was moved here in 1873, the museum became known as “Michelangelo’s Museum”, drawing visitors from across the globe to marvel at this unparalleled masterpiece.
But the Galleria dell’Accademia is much more than Michelangelo’s legacy. Its extensive collection spans from the 13th to the 16th centuries, featuring works by artists like Botticelli and a wealth of religious and secular art that reflects the spirit of the Renaissance. The museum also houses a remarkable 19th-century collection of plaster models and casts, showcasing the evolution of artistic techniques, and a fascinating section of antique musical instruments, which offers a rare glimpse into the history of music.
Explore this unmissable museum with our professional local guide, who will bring its history and treasures to life, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience in Florence.

David is truly beautiful and amazing — a very emotional experience to see him 🙂
Susan McAdams –
It is not possible to comment on the emotion you feel when, entering the room, you turn around and in the end you see it, imposing, beautiful, majestic and everything else disappears.
A must see and enjoy at least once in a lifetime.
