At this world famous art gallery you can see works by some
of the top names in art history. The museum is one of the
oldest in the world and has attracted visitors from around
the world since it was officially opened to the public in 1765.
As far back as the "Grand Tour" era wealthy upper class
Europeans would tour Europe visiting the best that the
continent had to offer in terms of culture and art. The
majority of the Uffizi collection is from the period between
the 12 th and 17 th century although there are works outside
of this period. Records show that even da Vinci and
Michelangelo visited the Uffizi to see the precious art
collection.
Although the museum possesses about 3,100 works of art
there are usually about 1,700 on display at any given time.
Among the famous artists whose work is on display here are
Giotto Masaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Veronese,
Sandro Botticelli, Raphael, Michelangelo, Tintoretto, Titian,
Caravaggio, Paolo Uccello and Caravaggio. The museum is
so vast that it can take at least 3 hours to see, but there are
some must-see works not to miss. See Gentile da
Fabriano's Adoration of the Magi; Battle of San Romano by
Uccello; Madonna and Child with Saint Anne by Masolino;
Filippo Lippi's Madonna and Child with Angels ; the works
by Botticelli on display in the Botticelli Room; da Vinci's
Annunciation ; Michelangelo's Doni Tondo ; works by
Raphael; Titian's Venus of Urbino ; Parmigiani's Madonna of
the Long Neck and the list of excellent art goes on
