OperaGuide: the Opera del Duomo Museum in the Palm of Your Hand
The new App with a free audio guide for visiting the Opera del Duomo Museum in Florence
Exploring the treasures of the Museum has never been easier or more engaging. Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore is proud to announce the launch of OperaGuide, the new official App featuring a free audio guide designed to lead you through the Museum's masterpieces.
A Tailor-Made Experience
Whether you are an art lover with plenty of time or a curious visitor on a schedule, OperaGuide adapts to your needs with two exclusive itineraries:
- Complete Route: Over 2 hours of narration to explore all 225 works on display in detail.
- "Highlights" Route: A selection of 26 must-see masterpieces, such as Michelangelo's Pietà and the Gates of Paradise, for an impactful one-hour visit.
More than just a Guide
The App doesn't just offer high-quality audio-guide in Italian and English; it is a digital assistant. Thanks to the interactive map, navigating the Museum's 6,000+ square meters and finding breathtaking spaces like the Hall of Paradise is effortless.
Furthermore, you will have direct access to official website sections, online ticketing, FAQ, and extra content to dive deeper into the history of the artists who made Florence eternal, from Donatello to Brunelleschi and many more.
Towards the Future
OperaGuide is just the beginning: soon, the App will become the "digital twin" of the entire monumental complex, extending its storytelling to all the monuments in Piazza Duomo.
