Arte Firenze for Families
DURATION: 2.5 hours
PRICE: €275 per group plus tickets
Created especially for our younger art enthusiasts, our Arte Firenze for Families walk acts as a primer to the rich collection of the Uffizi and to Florentine art, in general. We’ll pair your family with an art historian, trained in an interactive inquiry-based learning technique, who will bring the collection to life, making what might be the kids’ first museum experience both fun and informative.
We start our time together with a short introduction in Piazza della Signoria, discussing the Uffizi structure and its relation to Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s town hall, and the Medici family. We’ll then continue on to the museum, where we’ll spend roughly two hours exploring the collection.
Focusing on recurring themes in the art works, the historical background in which the art was created and biographical information about the artists themselves, the docent will be able to construct an engaging dialogue with the children about the art; how, why and by whom it was created.
Please note that the Uffizi experiences a large volume of visitors in the period of May-early October. Due to the number of people visiting the museum, we may experience small waits in collecting our reserved tickets and getting through the security system at the entrance.
The price of tickets & reservations to the Uffizi (14 euros/person) will be calculated when you checkout according to the number of people in your group.
In order to plan the best possible experience for your children, it would be helpful for us know some background. Have they traveled to other countries in the past? If so, where? What are they studying in school? Are they interested in art, music, even food! The more you can tell us, the better.
