First release : 14 May 2010
App size: 97.18 Mb
The application, developed by Giunti Editore in cooperation with the Soprintendenza Speciale per il Polo Museale Fiorentino, is the official guide to the Galleria dellAccademia.
It consists of four main sections (Guide, Map, Masterpieces, Info) and offers the basic and in-depth information you need to visit the museum. It’s also a useful educational tool.
The Guide section is divided into six categories:
• Exhibit halls - the works of art in each room.
• Periods - all the artworks grouped by historical period.
• Artists - the complete list of the artists, with a biography of the great masters.
• Masterpieces - the twelve most important works in the Accademia, with a description, a zoomable high resolution image and notes on the most significant details.
• Selected works - images of over sixty among the most outstanding works of art, with thorough descriptions.
• List of exhibits - the complete catalogue of all the works of art on display.
The interactive map permits virtual access to the rooms according to the itinerary each visitor chooses to follow inside the museum.
The Information section tells you everything you need to know about the museum’s opening times, ticket prices, how to get there, notes about the history of the Accademia and a user manual.
Latest reviews of Accademia Gallery. The Official Guide app for iPhone and iPad
I ask my money back. It doesnt work completely.
This app is quite terrible and useless. Downloaded it prior to going to Accademia, and here are some problems: - The app isnt maintained on a current basis and uses "please be patient" as an excuse to be unhelpful and inaccurate. - Its not user friendly and is cumbersome. No search-by-word feature. - Artworks arent listed by room layout with a depiction (ie...no effort put into app maintenance to stay current), so you waste more time searching the app than looking at art. - The half of the artworks that do have comments on the app have less information than the notes in the museum. - The other half of the artworks listed in the app dont even have a picture of the work on the app to correlate to, let alone have any information on them. This app is a terrible waste of money. I recommend you dont get it as it is quite expensive and unhelpful.
