    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The Accademia Gallery in Florence, once a part of the fine arts academy, traces its origins back to 1784, founded by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo. Initially hosting gypsum models by Giambologna, it evolved with an impressive collection of original and replicated artworks, enriched further by Gothic and Renaissance paintings from abolished churches and convents. Selected as Michelangelo's David new home in 1873, the gallery's relocation was prompted by safety concerns in Signoria Square. Over the years, additional Michelangelo masterpieces like the Prisoners, St. Matthew, and Pieta found a home, transforming the Accademia into an unofficial Michelangelo museum. Join our expert English-speaking guide to breathe life into each masterpiece with intriguing stories, unraveling the legacy of one of the world's greatest artists.
