About this experience
Immerse yourself in Renaissance brilliance with a private guided tour of the Accademia Gallery in Florence.
Your journey begins in the Hall of the Colossus, home to the original plaster model of The Rape of the Sabines by Giambologna. This dramatic piece is surrounded by masterpieces from the Florentine Mannerist school, dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries.
Next, step into the evocative Hall of the Prisoners, named after Michelangelo’s powerful unfinished sculptures, the Prisoners or Slaves. Originally intended for the tomb of Pope Julius II, these figures seem to struggle to emerge from the marble, symbolizing the soul’s battle to break free from the confines of the material world. In this same space, you’ll also discover Michelangelo’s St. Matthew and the Palestrina Pietà, attributed to the artist.
Finally, the tour culminates at the far end of the gallery, where Michelangelo’s David stands in majestic splendor. A true icon of Renaissance art and human creativity, David captivates viewers with its scale, detail, and profound expression of strength and beauty.
This private experience offers a deeper appreciation of one of the world’s most revered museums, with your expert guide bringing each masterpiece to life.
