Today, these offices hold the finest collection of paintings from many different respectable artists. The complex Uffizi was begun by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de' Medici. It supposed to accommodate the offices of the magistrates (Uffici=offices).  Today, Uffizi Gallery tickets are very popular all year round because tourists come from different parts of the world and many of them spend hours waiting in long queues. 

This Uffizi Gallery Tour will help you enter the gallery with a skip-the-line priority entrance ticket.

The Medici art collections were gifted to the city by the last Medici heiress Anna Maria Luisa and the gallery officially became a museum in 1865. The museum is organized as a long labyrinth of rooms with amazing works of art displayed in chronological order along a U-shaped Renaissance building which was never created to be a  museum.
