WHY YOU NEED THIS APP
The Uffizi is one of the most important museums in the world. It is also big and tiring! Many visitors find it hard to enjoy because the museum does not provide helpful wall text that explains what you’re looking at. If you have never studied the Renaissance or Art History, it is easy to miss the important works, or to come out not having understood why they are important. This app solves this problem.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
This app is written by Alexandra Korey, an art historian and blogger (www.arttrav.com) whose goal is to make art accessible. By asking questions rather than just providing answers, you’ll find yourself looking at art in a more informed and enjoyable way. It is based on university teaching notes and many, many trips through the Uffizi Gallery!
This app is intended for casual visitors to the Uffizi but also teachers and groups of students. If you’re bringing a student group to the museum, use it as a textbook – educational discount available.
