The Medici's stored part of their large art collection on the top floor. The baroque decoration of the original can be glimpsed in the videos that give an impression of how the real museum looks. You also get videos with views of the Arno river and the square in front of the museum. If you ever have been to the Uffizi at the height of the tourist season, you know how crowded it can be. In this CD no-one stands between you and the pictures.
All images come with a brief comment, and a link to an artist biography.
These biographies also show important works that are in other museums. The Uffizi's great strength is in Florentine Renaissance painting. Art from elsewhere or from other periods is often not first rate. The program opens onto a plan of the museum. Double clicking will take you to the room, which is shown in 3D with all the pictures on the wall.
