Florence: Michelangelo's David Skip-the-Line Entry Ticket

The Fast Track Academia Gallery Ticket allows you to avoid the long lines so you can start enjoying the Amazing World of Art and History as soon as you enter the museum - first by seeing Michelangelo’s David, which is located in its own special hall.

David is a very remarkable work of art and is considered one of the ultimate highpoints of Renaissance art - an incredible display of tremendous detail and tremendous amount of material that makes David one of the most famous art pieces in the world.

Next, explore Renaissance art! See works by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and Da Vinci, which are part of the same style -- and help us define the art style of Florence during the 15th and 16th centuries.

All three of these famous artists produce beautiful paintings in classic Renaissance style with rich colours, religious themes and detailed workmanship.

While viewing the art works, you will be able to see how the style of painting has changed over time in Florence, mirroring the city's enormous intellectual and cultural changes that occurred during the Renaissance.

You may be interested in the section of The Florentine School for more examples of works created by local artists who may not be as well known as others.

Pay special attention to Michelangelo's Prisoners, which are examples of several of Michelangelo's unfinished sculptures that provide testimony to the power of his original methods, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Although not fully developed, you can see how these individual sculptures, trapped in a block of marble, are indicative of Michelangelo's overall vision and craftsmanship.

While you're visiting, the Fast Track Ticket for the Academia Gallery provides you the chance to fully explore these great works of art at your convenience, with the added benefit of getting to see many that were created throughout time and will allow you to appreciate their incredible beauty, history, and cultural importance as a world-class institution.
