will reopen on Thursday January 21, Director Eike Schmidt said
Tuesday.
On Wednesday, January 20, Schmidt said as he reopened the famed
Boboli gardens, another historic Florentine site, Palazzo Pitti,
will reopen to visitors.
"I invite all Florentines and Tuscans to come and visit our
museums, which have been closed for 77 days," he said.
Visitors to the Uffizi, as well as enjoying its matchless
Florentine Renaissance collection, will be able to see a
masterpiece by Jospeh Wright of Derby, loaned by the National
Gallery in London, 'An Experiment On A Bird Inserted Into a
Pneumatic Pump'.
