Additional facts about the Accademia Gallery Gift Shop
The shop offers collector's items, including busts and figures from Renaissance works, such as Michelangelo’s San Matteo, and specific anatomical replicas like miniature versions of David’s head. These pieces can reach prices of 300 euros.
Master artisans in Volterra, Tuscany, manufacture these objects using reconstructed stone composed of marble dust and alabaster. The production process involves manual molds and individual finishing techniques, including chiseling, polishing, and the application of an external patina.
Note on the dress code: We recommend dressing modestly. Please note that, while the museum is flexible, nearby churches in Florence require that shoulders and knees be covered.
What to see after the Accademia?
Since the gift shop marks the end of your visit to the gallery, you will soon be stepping back into the streets of Florence. You are just a short walk away from another iconic landmark: Piazza del Duomo. To fully grasp the magnitude of the Renaissance after seeing Michelangelo's David, your next adventure should be climbing the magnificent cathedral's dome. We highly recommend getting the Brunelleschi Pass to guarantee your access to all the monuments in Piazza del Duomo: the Dome, the Campanile, and the Cathedral Museum, ensuring you don't miss out on the best panoramic views of the city.
