This was part of the political platform proposed by mayoral candidate Matteo Renzi, and a point in\u00a0the platform that I helped develop for city counsellor candidate Laura De Benedetto (who unfortunately\u00a0did not win a seat). Museum cards make it possible to make shorter, repeated visits to museums without feeling prohibited by or guilty about the cost. I hope that the city will also offer babysitting services and special events to card holders.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) I<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">n <\/span>late breaking news: According to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theflorentine.net\/articles\/article-view.asp?issuetocId=4617\" target=\"_blank\">The Florentine<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">, the <strong>city of Florence is finally developing a city card that would give access to the city&#8217;s municipal museums<\/strong>, which are NOT the state museums (museums like the Stibbert and Strozzi Palace are mentioned, though I imagine\/hope this would also include the Palazzo Vecchio). Apparently the card should be ready for purchase by late 2009. Proposed costs seem reasonable &#8211; 20 euros for a 2 day tourist pass and 50 euros for a yearly resident pass.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) In other related news&#8230;<strong> extended Uffizi opening hours for summer 2009<\/strong>: on Tuesday nights from July 1 thorugh till the end of September the museum will be open until 9pm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">NOTE: if you are planning a trip to the Uffizi, do not buy your tickets from online resellers that charge extra. Tickets to the Uffizi can be bought on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b-ticket.com\/b-ticket\/uffizi\/venue.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">official site <\/a>and should cost no more than 14 euros for the full price ticket during the summer (when special shows are on) and 10,50 euros at other times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1442\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/marchio.jpg?resize=184%2C135&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"marchio\" width=\"184\" height=\"135\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3) The Friends of the Uffizi membership card (Amici degli Uffizi) gives you unlimited access for one calendar year to the state museums of Florence (including the Uffizi and the Accademia). It costs only 100 euros for a family of four, and with this you can skip the lines! It&#8217;s a great deal for residents and tourists alike.<\/p>\n<p>For now you can get into\u00a0state museums and skip the line to the uffizi by purchasing a Amici degli Uffizi card which I really think is a great deal (and I don&#8217;t get anything in exchange for saying this). You can buy this on the spot when you arrive (museum hours, so closed monday) or order online if you have sufficient time to wait for the post. The museums included in this card are:<\/p>\n<p>Galleria degli Uffizi<br \/>\nGalleria dell&#8217;Accademia<br \/>\nPalazzo Pitti<br \/>\nGalleria Palatina<br \/>\nGalleria dell&#8217;Arte Moderna<br \/>\nGalleria del Costume<br \/>\nMuseo degli Argenti<br \/>\nMuseo delle Porcellane<br \/>\nGiardino di Boboli<br \/>\nMuseo Nazionale del Bargello<br \/>\nMuseo delle Cappelle Medicee<br \/>\nMuseo di Palazzo Davanzati<br \/>\nMuseo di San Marco<br \/>\nGiardino della Villa Medicea di Castello<br \/>\nVilla Medicea della Petraia<br \/>\nVilla Medicea di Poggio a Caiano<br \/>\nVilla Medicea di Cerreto Guidi e Museo storico della Caccia e del Territorio<br \/>\nCenacolo di Ognissanti<br \/>\nCenacolo di Andrea del Sarto<br \/>\nCenacolo di Fuligno<br \/>\nCenacolo di Sant&#8217;Apollonia<br \/>\nChiostro dello Scalzo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; UPDATE OCT 2011: for the latest information about Florence Museum Cards please click here.
