The Uffizi Gallery in Florence was a 16th century architectural masterpiece designed by Bernardo Buontalenti for the Medici Family.
The heart of the Uffizi Gallery is called the Tribuna which is a large room, octagonal in shape and filled with natural light. It was specifically designed to display the most precious artistic treasures acquired by the Medici Family.
Some artworks along the virtual Uffizi Gallery tour have been especially focused on including thirteen sculptures that have been beautifully photographed using 3D scanning and by tapping on them with your mouse; information pops up about it in either Italian or English.
