Florence: a Treasure Hunt in the Uffizi Gallery

About this tour

A TREASURE HUNT IN THE UFFIZI MUSEUM

A very special tour, full of fun and energy! Look for details and symbols hidden in the masterpieces of some of the most important Renaissance painters.

Discover Florence with the eyes of art and history and be surprised by myths and legends. But beware: this is a treasure hunt and it is essential to pay attention to the details that the guide will point out. An example? Find the sculptures hidden in Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo. That’s strange: yet it is a painting…

See with different eyes the masterpieces housed in the most visited Renaissance Gallery in the world: The Uffizi Gallery

Take a close look at the works of art that belonged to the Medici family: discover the symbols hidden inside them: what do you see in the mouth of Caravaggio’s Medusa? Look for animals, flowers, dogs, cats and household items in Renaissance paintings. Let’s reflect together on their meaning.

And try to understand why in the bed of the Virgin Mary in the Annunciation of Botticelli was painted only one pillow.

And then try to discover the details of the faces of the children of the Medici Family or the mystery of the flying machine in the painting of Leonardo da Vinci, or the scorpion and the bird in the paintings of Raphael and many other mysteries! Find the answers in the paintings to see even with the help of the portable projector of your tour guide during this treasure hunt.

Have fun, and between a smile and a discovery let yourself be carried away by art! 

All winners (and even non-winners) will get a souvenir-prize from the Gallery!
