Accademia Gallery Entry Tickets Overview
The Accademia Gallery in Florence exists for one reason above all others: Michelangelo's David. The original marble sculpture stands over 5 metres tall beneath a skylit dome at the heart of the museum. Carved from a single block of Carrara marble between 1501 and 1504 it was moved here in 1873 to protect it from the weather and has drawn visitors from around the world ever since.
The approach to David is part of the experience. The Gallery of the Prisoners lines the corridor leading to the sculpture with four unfinished works by Michelangelo known as the Slaves. These partially carved figures appear to be struggling out of the stone and give a rare insight into Michelangelo's working process.
Beyond David the museum holds a collection of Gothic and Renaissance paintings, religious works and a hall of rare musical instruments from the Medici collection including genuine Stradivarius violins. The gallery is much smaller than the Uffizi making it possible to see everything in a single visit without feeling rushed. Entry is limited to keep the galleries manageable.
