THE UFFIZI
The Uffizi has the greatest collection of Renaissance art on earth.
Housed in ancient Florentine government office buildings constructed by the Medicis, the Uffizi museum contains works by Michelangelo, da Vinci, Botticelli, Giotto, Raphael, Caravaggio and Durer -- to name a few of the hundreds of artistic legends showcased there.
The most popular museum in Florence also has a series of ramps, elevators, lifts and barrier-free restrooms to ease the access for wheelchair-using visitors.
It also has a touch tour tactile experience for visually-impaired visitors.
Visually impaired folks are allowed to put on protective gloves and touch rare marbles and other three-dimensional works usually off-limits, tactile speaking, to visitors.
