Uffizi: Hermaphrodite Room reopens May 30

Work is underway at the Uffizi in Florence: in order to solve water infiltration problems that in recent days had affected Room 38, the one that houses the famous Hermaphrodite, the room will have to remain closed to allow the replacement of the skylight glass that caused the problem. Meanwhile, the Hermaphrodite will be temporarily moved to the Ricetto in front of the hall.

The work, an important Roman copy from the imperial period of a Hellenistic original dating to the mid-2nd century B.C., will return to its usual location on May 30, the date it is scheduled to reopen unless serious unforeseen events occur.
