El David Reviews

Excellent sculpture by Michelangelo. Pure perfection. Located in the museum of the academy. Although there is a replica in the Palacio Vechio. Without a doubt perfection wherever you look. It is elevated, difficult to assess it completely, but at the same time it allows you to see it despite the large number of people who visit it.

Awe inspiring! Please pay attention to David's expression. It is moments before the face off with goliath. Note the sling on David's shoulder and stone in his hand. Michelangelo was talented and inspired!

It was a small price to see this sculpture and was not as busy as I thought I might be.

Simply exciting
The whole museum is beautiful
The part with very nice musical instruments
It has the right dimensions for a visit with the children

Corona rules adequately implemented. Hand disinfection and access control. Easier to keep your distance here than outside. Advance reservation is recommended. You can enter in the time indicated.

Make sure to reserve online at the official site. It is 4 euro extra but you save a long line.

He did not do it to me. Bernini's uncle is much more touching and impressive.

It is wonderful to see this sculpture so big and perfect

You truly cannot understand and appreciate the majesty, magnificence, and perfection of this sculpture, unless you are standing humbly at its feet. It is in every sense of the word, a masterpiece, a work of astounding beauty and incredible attention to detail. I was quite unprepared for it's magnitude. It is Colossal. When I rounded the corner and got my first glimpse of him, it was literally, jaw-dropping and breathtaking. By the time I got to the plinth, he looked not only like a young man with a sling, but also the King that he would become, almost God-like. I could well see him composing, "Hallelujah". I also found it amazing that Michelangelo had brought him forth from a piece of marble that two other sculptors had worked with and deemed too difficult to carve. I believe he proved them wrong. Waiting in line and paying the price of admission at the Galleria dell'Academia is, in my opinion, worth it, just to see this work. I have seen reproductions of it in several places, but there is no comparison between them and the original. None at all.

David di Michelengelo main attraction with excellent location within the structure

Magnificent!!
I still wonder how Michelangelo managed to create this masterpiece with a mallet and chisel

Brilliant work that there is to see. Its dimensions impress, its details, its atmosphere is enigmatic.

I could not see the original due to inappropriate information. On the internet they reported that for today there were no more tickets and that their price rose from 16 euros. Two ladies did not believe, they went, bought their unreserved tickets for 8 euros and enjoyed it. Good for them !!!

Huge statue, unbelievable they were able to save it all these years, lots of art to see, would recommend a tour early in the morning to get in faster, then split at your own paste.

His hands are weirdly too big for his body. Otherwise, a really cool statue! I like the carvings of the half finished Michaelangelo more, because you can see the work in progress. David is HUGE and I can only imagine how much time it took to carve him from that marble.

Nice museum. At this moment with Covid there are 2 lines, one with and one without reservations. We had reservations at 9:15, present at 9:05, and we were able to enter at 9:45. So even with reservations there is some waiting time. Inside wasn't crowded.

We cannot explain the emotion we feel in the presence of David. A sculpture destined to excite the world forever.

Took my breath away. Highly recommend that you spend at least an hour here just for David

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was crowded, but we were able to get close enough to feel like we were in the presence of greatness.

The masterpiece of the master, the pinnacle of art.

When I saw the David I was speechless in front of so much beauty and perfection. If you go to Florence you can't go to the Academy to see the wonder of Michelangelo

The original is absolutely more spectacular than the replica, each side has different feelings, and the museum has introduced the plaster making process!

All other sculptures pale in comparison to the David. Listen to Rick Steve's free audio app about the Accademia before your visit for the best way to go through the museum. There are unfinished works by Michelangelo.

Unbelievable how intelligent and capricious the man was.

One of the world's most renowned masterpieces of the Renaissance and of course by Michelangelo, it is housed inside the Galleria dell Accademia, Florence. Perhaps not as well known as the Uffizi Museum, it is only a 14 minute walk away, so be sure to take in both. Highly advisable to buy your tickets ahead of time. We visited here a few years back with a prearranged guided tour group. Well worth the price in both occasions.

Cannot miss if visiting the city. The size alone is stunning.

It is a spectacular vision. One cannot believe that a human hand has succeeded in forging such a marvel. To be seen! It fills the heart with optimism

Interesting not only to see the original but a number of incomplete works, and so much more!

You have to do a long line to get in but it's worth it if one is also a small part of an art lover

There are no words to describe it, he is a real giant

Excellent display of art for everyone to see no matter how busy it is

Pull over the table with the tickets ..... a shame .... be careful not to post tickets in front of the museum

whatever you expect from David, be amazed. He is beautiful.

Michelangelo famous marble David s statue has been now moved to Galleria dell academia in Florence

Very RUDE staff at this place. Toilets have no seats. Gross!

In the gallery of the academy the original of the symbol of Florence itself. Not to be missed

Gorgeous leaves me speechless every time. I would spend hours admiring it

Important collection of sculpture, the star piece Michelangelo's David

The masterpiece of Miguel Angel. To see it is to understand that there are no verbs to comment on.

I was impressed to see it. It is much bigger than I expected and has many details. It was worth it without a doubt, it is a great work.

You can see David, paintings and some sculptures. It is important to buy early so as not to make lines.
The audio guide is not recommended, it is preferable to read inside the museum the information of each work. The signs are in English and Italian

Queues at the entrance are mostly large, from the received visual pleasure of the exhibition, you will not fall into a faint.

spectacular, and a gift for the whole world, every time you see you are always impressed by the genius who was great Michelangelo.

David is very famous. Snorkel to the place but could not enter because Monday closed. Sad.

The Accademia Gallery removes from the open-air museum (which is the city of Florence) this prodigious symbol of Renaissance art. It is impossible to miss Michelangelo's David. A piece of Florentine is here, in Renaissance man, a symbol of beauty. See the David and fill yourself with wonder, beauty and grandeur. Absolutely not to be missed.

No doubt work, Michelangelo's teacher, totally fascinating
