Uffiz Museum of Art is a rare and relaxed Museum experience. First, it is not so big. Louvre, Metropolitan and Winter Palace are all close to the waist. Second, I entered after 4:30, avoiding the crowds, and the aesthetic pleasure immediately improved. Thirdly, and most importantly, the lessons done a few months in advance began to pay off. These Renaissance masterpieces actually felt familiar. So preview + audio guide is the right way to open Museums
