The Uffizi was a lot more than I was expecting! This museum was huge! I wish I could've stayed longer because everything in there was so fascinating, I loved art history so therefore I love museums. I saw so much artwork that I had seen in slides and textbooks prior to going to the Uffizi. I thought it was so interesting to see how large or even tiny some of the artworks actually were, since we just usually just see thumbnails.
The Uffizi was originally an office building for Lorenzo Medici, and there brought together the administration offices of the state. It has now become one of the largest museums in Italy, for a fact there were too many pieces originally that they had to spread them throughout other museums in Florence. One thing that I love about the Uffizi was how beautiful each and every piece was. Some well known artists that were shown in the Uffizi were Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Overall I loved my experience at the Uffizi and I would definately go back again sometime.
