Florence, Uffizi closes due to air conditioning failure. They will reopen tomorrow

Florence: The Uffizi Gallery was forced to close its doors today due to a breakdown in the air conditioning system. The museum was without air conditioning throughout the day: it was therefore necessary to close late in the morning. However, the reopening, scheduled for this afternoon, has been postponed until tomorrow. Meanwhile, technicians are working to fix the problem.

The official announcement was given on the Gallery’sTwitter account. Visitors have been turned away from the museum: considerable inconvenience and disappointment on the part of those who wanted to enjoy a day in Florence’s largest museum. The disruption is thought to be due to water shortages: the reserves needed to run the system were in fact depleted and needed to be replenished. It seems that the situation, however, will not result in problems for the works stored in the museum.
