Every two years, The Friends of the Uffizi Gallery organize the Florentine Weekend, a weekend of VIP, art-focused activities at the Uffizi Gallery and in nearby locations throughout the City of Florence. This is an exclusive, invitation-only and behind-the-scenes tour of one of the world's most prestigious museums and the surrounding cultural community. The event is open to Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonardo members of the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery whose gracious donations have contributed to the restoration of historic and irreplaceable works of Renaissance and Baroque art within the Uffizi Gallery.
