Definitely worth it to see David and the sculptures . We bought our tickets from the advance reservations desk and were inside 10 minutes later. No queuing around the block!

Long line to get in, but definitely worth seeing Michelangelo's David , even if you're not big into sculptures . Definitely buy a ticket online in advance to save time (~30 min wait in tourist season)

We staied at queue near 1,5 hours, but we didn't regret. At the gallery the most important and amazing exhibit is a David by Michelangelo. You need to see this statue , it's the top of people art .

David is the undeniable star, but an impressive collection of medieval and renaissance art too. Long queues so book in advance or go an hour or so before closing time. Don't miss the first floor!

The main attraction here is Michelangelo's David , apart of that, in sculpture , there are only loads of plaster models and some unfinished pieces. If you're into arts , the retables collection is great.

Great museum with David . Very impressive sculptures . Get the “Skip the Line ” ticket/tours for faster entry. Our guide was very informative.

Buy tickets in advance, one of the best classic and Renaissance galleries I've visited, and not just because of The David . Get soaked in Michelangelo's work, wonderful aesthetic experience.

The Rape of the Sabines and David were awesome to see, but other than that this museum doesn't have a whole lot. You could probably see it all in an hour. Don't expect much and buy your ticket online!

Everything is accessible and most items aren’t places behind plexi glass so we could view thing much better and clearer. Each room was large enough for the amount of people that were there at the time

Definitely a must! but unfortunately online tickets were sold out, and the cues were so messy. We ended up buying tickets from a tour group that charged extra but it was the fastest option

Is the “home” of Michelangelo’s David , a colossal statue symbol of Florentine freedom. The Galleria also hosts some unfinished works by Michelangelo: the 4 “Prisoners ” and a statue of Saint Matthew.

Buy the Firenze card to avoid lines . The highlight is Michelangelo's David , but you must also see the astonishing piece of gold/silver thread embroidery by Jacopo Cambi: The coronation of the Virgin.

Of course you have to see the David , but take a few minutes to see the rest of the rooms which have a great collection of art .

All of the paintings , instruments, and sculptures were beautiful! We came December 24th in the morning and I could walk around without a crowd.

order your tickets online before you go and save hours of waiting in line . http://www.accademia.org/buy-tickets/

Excellent collections of Renaissance painting and of course... sculpture . Besides David , you’ll also see a small collection of Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures .

You seriously can't miss the visit. There is one one thing worth seeing it: DAVI by Michelangelo. Stare at the details like a crazy person because is so perfectly beautiful!

Apart from Michelangelo's David which everyone should see, you should also see ancient musical instruments museum which is on your right as you enter the gallery ????

Here you find the original statue of David by Mihelangelo. Don't miss it - it really is impressive. It would be hard to copy even with today's texhnology. It's a masterpiece:-)

By May 2015, pay 22€ in the line to official resellers instead of spend more than one hour waiting. Remember, time is gold!

The Gallery hosts the famous David by Michelangelo, symbol of Florence and of the Renaissance and some unfinished works of Michelangelo. Follow FirenzeCard page on Foursquare for tips about Florence.

If you have the Firenze Card you can skip the lines . If not, you can reserve a spot online or just wait it out. We went in November and only waited 15 mins. Michelangelo's David is a sight to behold.

Please do not go for just taking a selfie with David . Live your own life and enjoy this moment, you are in front of a masterpiece

In addition to David and unfinished Michelangelos sculptures (amazing) do not miss the collection of orthodox icons: brought to Firenze by Francis Stephen, husband od Marie Theresie of Austria

Absolutely amazing! Get an online reservation if you can to dramatically shorten the wait or get there super early for a short "ish" wait in line . ????????????????

Thus year, every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer (until Sep 27th), the gallery is open untill 10 PM, so you can sit by David almost alone and avoid the three hour waiting during the day.

The David is impossible to miss! It is spectacular. Highly recommended getting tickets in advance to avoid long lines .

People come for its most famous statue , David , but the other galleries are worth seeing too.

Smaller than I thought it'd be, but still a 'must' - to see David is one of the first things to do in Florence.

The Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence", is an art museum in Florence, Italy. It is the home of Michelangelo 's sculpture David

What can I say? Michaelangelo's "David " is here along with some of the world's finest collections of art , sculptures , and other masterpieces.

Astonishing! Especially the 'David '. It really makes your mind blow away. A must in a life.

Even tho' Michelangelo's David steals the scene, there's much more to see, including a little museum of musical instruments.

When you enter, to your right, there's "Museo degli Strumenti Musicali". Do play with the 'Bacile Sonoro' (Water Spring Bowl) which is at the entrance. It will make a nice sound!

The extraordinary contribution of academics including Michelangelo, Francesco da Sangallo, Bronzino , Cellini, Vasari, Ammannati, Giambologna, Uccello, Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Andrea del Sarto, etc...

Photographers : you can leave your tripod and flash at home. You're not allowed to shoot with them. Enjoy the David

Galleria dell'Accademia is a must see if you are in Florence Italy.

go early to beat crowds. you can't take pictures of the real David , but snap one of his copy outside the gift shop !

Our classic cultural tour in Italy starts in here. It's no surprise - "David ", "The Slave" and other excellent pieces make Galleria fantastic place to begin your Florence journey!

Try to book it in advance from online otherwise you need to wait for a long time in the row. Michelangelo's David is magnificant.

Must see the David . Cool to see partial Michelangelo statues . Religious alter pieces and other painted works as well .

Not the largest gallery so can prob do the whole thing in an hour or so. The audio guide is really not worth getting (not much on there, and the statue of David had the wrong number)

This is where Michelangelo's David is. In high season get there early or pay 22euro for VIP tickets to get in a shorter line .

Until 25th September every Wednesday, from 7 PM to 10 PM, you can have an Aperitif with David by Michelangelo at Accademia Gallery . For more tips https://it.foursquare.com/firenzecard

Buy your museum ticket in advance to avoid the crowds! David from Michelangelo is breathtaking! Very worth it!

Believe it or not there are three David’s in Florence. The 1501 original, sculptured by Michelangelo, was moved inside the Accademia from Piazza Signoria in 1873 to prevent weather damage.
