Description:

Follow a knowledgeable art historian through the Uffizi Gallery—one of the world's best collections of Renaissance art. Listen to your expert guide discuss the artistic splendor of these works, along with the political and social connotations in the context of a Renaissance society.

Uffizi means “offices” in Italian. This building was conceived of by Cosimo I de' Medici as a workplace for Florentine magistrates. The astounding Medici art collection soon decorated the walls, and the Uffizi opened for public viewing in the late 18th century.

Begin your tour in Piazza Signoria and learn about the overarching historical and architectural context of the Uffizi and about the early Florentine Renaissance. Walk through the museum with a specially scheduled appointment—to lose yourself in magnificent works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Giotto, Da Vinci, and more.
