Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi)

The Uffizi is among the oldest art museums in the world and was built in the 16th century by architect Giorgio Vasari designed to function as a location for government offices. This building only began to exhibit works of art previously acquired by the Medici rulers of Florence many years after they had started doing so, officially becoming a public museum in 1769. Housing more than 1,500 works from ancient Greece to the 18th century, the Uffizi’s centerpiece collection is known for its essential holdings of Renaissance art. This tour focuses on those masterpieces and takes you through the notable highlights of the Renaissance galleries featuring extraordinary works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and others. Enter the great Botticelli Room and see The Birth of Venus and Primavera as your guide talks about how they were made, their importance, and what makes Botticelli great. After this, go to see other masterworks like da Vinci's beautiful Annunciation, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, and pieces by Raphael.
