Standing over five meters tall, this extraordinary Renaissance masterpiece was carved by Michelangelo from a single block of Carrara marble between 1501 and 1504.
Take your time to admire the sculpture from different angles and discover details that photographs simply cannot reproduce: the expression of intense concentration, the anatomical precision, the veins running across the hands, and the extraordinary craftsmanship that transformed marble into one of the most recognizable figures in the world.
With your audio guide, learn about the fascinating story behind the creation of David, Michelangelo’s artistic vision, the sculpture’s original location, and how it became an enduring symbol of Florence.
