Visit the Accademia Gallery in Florence without the hassle of queuing with this skip-the-line ticket. Plug in your headphones, and learn about the highlights of the museum guided by an app on your smartphone. The gallery proudly houses Michelangelo's renowned David, an international emblem of the city and a masterpiece of the Renaissance era, along with some of the most celebrated works in the realm of art today.
Established in 1784 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena to provide students with sculptural models to study and replicate, the Accademia is home to the works of some of the most acclaimed Florentine artists, including Michelangelo Buonarroti, Sandro Botticelli, Benvenuto Cellini, Giorgio Vasari and Giambologna. In 1873, the addition of Michelangelo's David significantly elevated the prestige of the museum.
Today, the Accademia Gallery contains more sculptures by Michelangelo than anywhere else in the world, featuring iconic pieces such as David, the Prisoners and San Matteo. Additionally, it houses the Museum of Musical Instruments, where you can admire the most ancient piano in the world. Your skip-the-line ticket also grants you access to all temporary exhibitions within the gallery.
