The Gallerie dell'Accademia are committed to further improving accessibility and usability and plan to make the entire premises fully and freely accessible to all.

The museum is accessible to mobility-impaired persons via the barrier-free entrance located at the right-hand side of the museum. The premises are equipped with lifts to access the first floor and lifting platforms between halls. 

If you are a person with a motor disability, please talk to our staff, and we will be happy to suggest the best way to get around the exhibition halls and give a timely update of any lift platforms under repair.

The following museum halls are currently not accessible to persons with mobility difficulties:

• ground floor: Halls 12-13.
