The Academy Gallery is the second most visited museum in Italy and one of the most sought after in the world. The main reason for this is that it houses the famous David by Michelangelo, along with other works by the artist such as The Bearded Slave or Saint Matthew. Founded in the 16th century by Cosimo I de' Medici, it was initially an Academy of Fine Arts and has housed Michelangelo's famous sculpture since the 19th century.

In this Guided Tour, in a small group, you will get to know the must-see places of the Academy Gallery. Along with an expert in Art History, you will discover some of the most important artistic pieces in the world. Among others, you will be able to see Michelangelo's famous David, as well as works by Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, Perugino, and Pacino Di Bonaguida. You will also tour some valuable rooms and learn about the Department of Musical Instruments, where you can see some instruments built by the famous Antonio Stradivari. Additionally, you will avoid queues at ticket counters and enjoy the tour in a small group, aiming for a unique experience in one of the most visited museums in the world.
