Museum
Dit museum is één van de grootste attracties van Florence met zijn duizenden onbetaalbare kunstwerken die een periode beslaan van haast vijf eeuwen.
Geschiedenis
Toen Cosimo I de 'Medici zijn residentie verplaatste naar het Palazzo Vecchio, gaf hij opdracht om de administratieve en juridische kantoren uit het paleis te verhuizen en nam Giorgio Vasari aan om tussen 1560 en 1570 een geschikte zetel voor hen te bouwen (het museum dankt inderdaad zijn naam aan deze oorspronkelijke functie van "offices"). In 1565 bouwde hij ook een gang (de beroemde Corridoio Vasariano), die het Palazzo Vecchio verbond met het Pitti paleis.
Collecties
In 1574 werd de eerste verdieping omgebouwd tot een kunstgalerij in opdracht van Francesco I de 'Medici, die het werk uitbesteedde aan Buontalenti die later ook de "Tribuna" creëerde om de schatten van de Medici een plaats te geven en tevens het Medici Theater. Een belangrijke datum voor het museum is 1737, toen Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici de "Convenzione" bedong, waarbij alle werken die zich hier bevonden onvoorwaardelijk verbonden moesten blijven met de stad Florence. Zelfs tijdens de dynastie van de Lotharingen werd het museum verrijkt met werken van allerlei periodes en afkomst, om te creëren wat vandaag de dag het meest belangrijke kunstmuseum van Italië is.

"Francesco our guide was great; he was very informative, interesting, up=to=date, generous in his responses to our questions and comments, and the selection of art works and the timing of it all was great. We found the traffic flow difficult when we stayed afterwards and think it could be improved in the Uffizi."

"We had an amazing tour of the Uffizi Gallery. Our guide was Leonardo who shared his incredible knowledge about the paintings, the artists and the history relating to the paintings and sculptures. So much to see but Leonardo was able to take us to the most significant works and succinctly describe the meaning and techniques used by the pre-eminent artists of the time. Thanks Leonardo for a most memorable experience ! "

"I have no problem giving a recommendation. Our guide arrived on time, the group was small as promised, and the audio worked well. Our guide (Francesco) was very knowledgeable, explained things in detail about the paintings, and answered all questions we put to him. His English was also very good. Although the cost of a guided tour may seem high I thought it was worth it for the extra understanding you get in a once in a lifetime visit."

"A wonderful experience (despite the enormous crowds)! Our Guide Andrea was brilliant so knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, but still with a sense of humour. We learned so much about the important paintings that we simply would not have noticed for ourselves. Not to be missed but try to get on a group led by Andrea !!!!!!!"

"I want to give a big thank you to our guide, Francesca. My wife was taken ill at the start of the tour, but Francesca managed to look after her, park us somewhere safe, and continue to run the tour while still occasionally checking we were OK. Meanwhile, my two teenage boys continued as part of the tour party and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent work all round Francesca, thanks again!"
