Galleria Accademia Florence Tour

Accademia Florence: Learn about Michelangelo’s David and his Greatest Masterpieces

Come with our passionate, certified guide and explore the Galleria Accademia, Florence’s top art gallery (alongside the larger, less specialist Uffizi Gallery). What makes the Accademia Gallery so special is that it houses mostly Florentine artists’ work who lived between 1300 and 1600, including one of the most famous artistic masterpieces, Michelangelo’s David, along with some of his other exquisite sculptures.

On this tour of the Galleria dell’Accademia, you will have the opportunity to see and learn more about Michelangelo’s David – easily the most legendary marble sculpture in the world –  and several more of his sculptures, including his statue of St Matthew, Pietá, and his four unfinished works referred to as ‘Prisoners‘or ‘Slaves’. Our expert local guides will also tell you more about his studies and sculpting techniques. 

Florence is perhaps the most famous city in the world for classical art, and this is due to the city’s history as the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, inspiring the creations of many of art history’s greatest sculptors and painters, including Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Sarto, and Paolo Uccello, just to name a few of them. The Galleria dell’Accademia is a specialist museum as it houses more Florentine artists’ work than the city’s larger Uffizi.
