“The Gallery entirely occupies the first and second floors of the large building constructed between 1560 and 1580 and designed by Giorgio Vasari. It is famous worldwide for its outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings (from the Middle Ages to the Modern period).
Moreover, the Gallery boasts an invaluable collection of ancient statues and busts from the Medici family, which adorns the corridors and consists of ancient Roman copies of lost Greek sculptures.”
"The access to the Uffizi is via lift. The Gallery is wholly accessible both on the first and the second floor.
To enter the Department of Prints and Drawings, which is completely accessible, it is necessary to take the lift and stop at the first floor.
Due to current works under the Uffizi's Loggia, the access to the Vasari Auditorium for disabled persons is on the Arno river side (from Lungarno Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici)."
