The Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence", is an art museum in Florence, Italy and is best known as the home of Michelangelo's sculpture David. It also has other sculptures by Michelangelo and a large collection of paintings by Florentine artists, mostly from the period 1300-1600, the Trecento to the Late Renaissance.

It is smaller and more specialized than the Uffizi, the main art museum in Florence. It adjoins the Accademia di Belle Arti or academy of fine arts of Florence, but despite the name has no other connection with it.

The artwork and history is fantastic. Even without a guide, there are English descriptions on most of the placards. Our guide did well, but admittedly hadn’t been in the gallery for many years. It seemed a little haphazard. We helped another couple link up with the guide, as the meeting location was very specific but random. An address was given, but was just a doorway without a sign or business to reference. We had to ask a few strangers if they were our guide, before ours actually appeared.

Fantastic. Our guide Pam was so knowledgeable. We were booked for a 1 hour tour but she spent more time with us than that. We didn’t use the ear phones so there were time where I had to lean in to hear her but that was ok. Highly recommend this tour.

Coming on this tour in November we were able to get in quickly without a wait as well as see the David up close. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and really great at talking about the sculptures by Michelangelo.
