Bring Renaissance art to life for your children on our Michelangelo’s David & Accademia Tour for Kids & Families, a fun, engaging, and interactive journey into the world of Florence’s most famous masterpiece. Led by a lively, kid-friendly guide, this tour transforms the Accademia into an exciting discovery game filled with stories, clues, and artistic surprises.

Begin with Michelangelo’s fascinating world—how a young artist turned a massive block of “ruined” marble into the most iconic hero of the Renaissance. Children become “art detectives” as they explore the museum, learning how Michelangelo carved muscles, expressions, and details from stone, and why David became a symbol of courage, intelligence, and freedom for the Florentines.

Through storytelling and games, kids discover the hidden fun inside the museum: the unfinished “Prisoners,” where figures seem to break free from the marble; musical instruments from the Medici collection; and lively details in paintings and sculptures throughout the galleries.

As they search for clues, sketch shapes, and decode symbols, young explorers develop a deeper appreciation for art—without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Perfect for families looking to experience the Accademia with curiosity, creativity, and plenty of laughter.
