About
حقائق سريعة: A breathtaking maze of galleries holds roughly 1,500 paintings, so spotting a Botticelli, a Leonardo, or a Raphael feels like finding a secret among sunlit corridors. Visitors often pause at high arched windows to watch warm light slide across gilded frames, making centuries-old faces look startlingly fresh.
النقاط البارزة: Step into the 16th-century corridors and your eyes are drawn to more than 1,400 paintings, among them Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus' and 'Primavera', whose tempera skin tones and gold leaf seem to shimmer under the tall, sunlit windows. One quirky tradition among long-time guides is to point out tiny conservation marks and handwritten inventory numbers on frame backs, then tell the wartime story of how several masterpieces were evacuated to countryside villas, a detail you can still sense in the faint tang of old varnish and beeswax when you lean in close.
Insider tips
- Book the earliest timed entry and head straight to the Botticelli rooms on the upper floor to beat the crowds.
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer, galleries can be warm and require standing and walking.
- Carry a small bag only, large backpacks are checked and slow you down at security.
- Non-flash photography is generally allowed in many rooms, follow signage and avoid tripods.
