What you'll do

1. 1

   Most people spend 90 seconds in front of Michelangelo's David. They photograph it, they admire it, and they move on — without ever knowing what they're actually looking at. Your reserved entry ticket to the Accademia Gallery comes with an exclusive audio guide designed to change that completely. Built on original historical research, it goes beyond the standard biography of Michelangelo to uncover the political provocation hidden in David's posture, the optical illusions deliberately built into the anatomy, and why this sculpture nearly wasn't finished at all. What you'll discover inside the Accademia Gallery: Michelangelo's David — The Tribune was purpose-built to house this 5.17-metre giant after weather damage threatened to destroy it outdoors. Your audio guide reveals the full story: the block of marble that sat abandoned for 25 years, the rival sculptors who turned it down, and the hidden political message that made David one of the most dangerous artworks in Renaissance Florence.
