Visit Uffizi Gallery in Florence | Book Tickets to Uffizi Gallery
The House of Medici, once a powerful political and religious dynasty in Florence, had a fine eye for art. Sometime in the 1560s, Cosimo I de' Medici, former Duke of Florence, asked Giorgio Vasari to design a structure for administrative purposes, as an office, or Uffizi. With Vasari’s heart and soul, the landmark became a special home for the Medici family’s carefully-curated art collection over the years -- and the Uffizi Gallery was born.
Millions of visitors flood to Florence each year to get a glimpse of what could arguably be listed as the greatest art collection in the world -- even above the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

What to See at the Uffizi Gallery
The Uffizi Gallery is home to countless pieces of exquisite art, spread across more than 100 rooms. While it’s a challenge to cover them all, here are the ones that cannot be missed at the Uffizi Gallery. Learn more about Uffizi Gallery artworks.
Birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli
Perhaps the greatest piece of art by Renaissance-era painter Sandro Botticelli is the Birth of Venus. Spanning about 10 feet, this piece, originally a gift to the Medici family, beautifully depicts the Goddess of Love, Venus. Situated atop a seashell, seemingly undergoing a baptism, this painting blends Christian and Renaissance thought into one effortless confluence.
Coronation of the Virgin, Fra Angelico
Italian painter Fra Angelico’s talent was once described as “near-perfect” by Vasari. His piece, Coronation of the Virgin, represents Christ placing a crown on Mary’s head, surrounded by saints and angels. Due to the use of rich colors, Angelico’s work is arguably one of the best alter pieces in art history and has been at the Uffizi since the 1800s.
Laocoön and his Sons, Baccio Bandinelli
Since its excavation, back in the 1500s in Rome, Bandinelli’s Laocoön and his Sons is one of the most famous sculptures to have ever been created. Based on the classic Greek story of the murder of Laocoön and his sons, one can observe Bandinelli’s careful attention to detail in portraying the raw emotion of human agony.
Madonna with the Long Neck, Parmigianino
Parmigianino uses unusual distortions to add a radical touch to his portrait of Mother Mary and Baby Jesus. In his attempt to provide a fresh perspective to a tried-and-tested artistic depiction, Parmigianino visualizes a larger-than-life Madonna with a long, swan-like neck, holding a large baby Jesus, surrounded by onlooking angels.
Portrait of Pope Leo X with Two Cardinals, Raphael
While most painters approach the subjects of their art with an idealistic lens, Raphael, chose to portray Pope Leo X from a more realistic perspective. One can find the Pope in his middle-age, as not just a powerful religious figure, but a public intellectual as well. What speaks volumes here is the influence on art under the Medici family.
Annunciation, Leonardo da Vinci & Andrea del Verrocchio
Under the tutelage of Verrocchio, da Vinci created his first masterpiece, one that is highly coveted by most art museums in the world. This piece depicts the moment Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would, miraculously, give birth to a boy. In particular, one can focus on the minute details of Mary’s features and the lilies in Gabriel’s palm.
Venus of Urbino, Titian
Few paintings from Titian’s era flamboyantly represent erotica like his Venus of Urbino. Regarded as a highly controversial painting of its time, it depicts Venus in a nude form, seemingly representing marriage, motherhood and eroticism. Irrespective of whether you are an art critic, you are sure to admire the painting’s fine detailing and subtle color tone.
Medusa, Caravaggio
Caravaggio’s depiction of Medusa, one of Greek mythology’s most fascinating characters, has held onto critics’ attention for centuries. Based on legend, anyone who looked at Medusa, she could turn to stone. This alluring painting, a canvas on a shield, portrays her decapitated head, at the hands of Perseus, who used a shield to protect his eyes.
