That
What you said (I'm crap with art, I know)

In general, I get fed up in art Museums. British museums are ok, because you pay what you want and spend as much time as you want. Now, having paid 50€ to get into the Uffizi meant seeing it all in one day. There's only a number of Virgin Marys I can see without feeling sick, and that number is a lot below the 1000 drawings of her they have in the museum.

I love how everyone goes into the Louvre
goes to see the Mona Lisa, has a coffee and then goes. There are actually other bits of art there.

Exactly
I don't mind if I can leave whenever I want, but... we had to queue for 2h to get the ticket (that's after booking it online, so only had to do the short queue). By the time we got to the Venus, I only wanted to tear all the paintings in front of me.

Or more,
if they have an exposition, which you can't opt out. And if you don't want to be all day on the queue, you book online, having to pay a booking and reservation fee, so you onely queue 2h when you get to the museum. In low season they're a bit cheaper.

I was planning on going there. Screw that for a game of soldiers, I'll spend it on food and wine instead.

That's what I thought when I left
we spent +100€ in museums in Florence; they were kind of ok. The Uffizi... Mark enjoyed it, don't take me wrong. You can go past the 1000 virgins in 5 seconds and get to the nicer paintings quick. I keep thinking I should have let him go there and spend my money drinking wine and eating cheese and parma ham, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

There was a young poet from Florence
Who hated all art with abhorrence
He got slightly tipsy
Went down the Uffizi
And peed on the paintings in torrents.

I went to the Uffizi last year
There's tonnes of great art in there. Don't remember it costing 50 euros though, think we paid more like 8 euros. Some of Leonardo's stuff was awesome, same with Bottochelli (sp?). Mind you I wasn't as bothered by the number of virgin marys, what I found weird was the amount of paintings of St Sebastian. I mean, how many different ways are there to paint a guy tied to a post shot through with arrows?

Anyway, yeah - like I said my problem was just that there was so much to see... We spent all day there, could eisily have spent a couple of days or longer and not seen everything.
