5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent guide, well worth buying BEFORE you go, and carrying through the museum,
By Rose Oatley (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Uffizi: The Official Guide All of the Works (Paperback)
This beautiful catalogue / guide would be ideal (except for slightly large size) to carry through the museum. It is arranged room-by-room, showing exactly where every picture is in the room, and providing expanded discussions of the most important / beautiful works. It also is a wonderful keepsake of this astounding gallery, perhaps the greatest collection of Renaissance painting in the world. The Uffizi is manageable enough to be seen in one visit, but this book makes one long to do a systematic inventory, a few rooms per day, for however long it takes to bask in and digest the glory of its collection. (P.S.: When visiting the Uffizi, telephone in advance to get a reservation; this saves lots of time and the tedium of a long line.)

This review is from: The Uffizi: The Official Guide All of the Works (Paperback)
If you are pressed for time in Florence, as we were, then you need to buy this book and put tabs on all the paintings you wanted to see before going there. Uffizi is HUGE. It's impossible to see everything within the timeframe we got. The book starts off with the outline of Uffizi (very important since you won't get any free info there.) The print of the book is very clear with bright colors. The real paintings were actually darker, so without this book, we couldn't see the detail. (When I was standing in front of the masterpiece with my book opened, the other tourists were actually looking over my shoulders to look at the same painting from the book!) I just wished it wasn't so heavy. It weighs a ton! In the end, it was worth carrying around because it was a wonderful guide.
