About this experience

This tour allows visitors to explore the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo's David, established in 1784. The gallery became the permanent residence for the statue in 1873, chosen for its protection from the elements in Piazza della Signoria, an area significant to Michelangelo's early studies. Participants will also view Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures, known as the "Slaves" or "Prigioni," which provide insight into his artistic process. The tour is guided by an expert who shares the history and narratives associated with these renowned works. This experience is suitable for art enthusiasts and those interested in Renaissance history. It may not suit large groups or those seeking a casual visit, as it focuses on in-depth exploration of the artworks.
