What to expect

You'll arrive at a reserved time and proceed straight through priority entrance. The gallery opens directly onto the David in its rotunda—the experience is immediate and uncluttered. From there, rooms branch off holding Renaissance paintings, sculptures, and Michelangelo's unfinished Prisoners series, which reveals the artist's working method. The audio guide delivers context through your own headphones via a QR code; it's self-paced, so you linger where you choose. Expect about an hour total, though you can move faster or slower depending on interest. No formal guide accompanies you—it's independent exploration.
