Imagine Dragons visiting the Uffizi, for them also a selfie with Eike Schmidt

Imagine Dragons, the famous Las Vegas-based electropop group formed in 2008 and who came to world prominence a few years ago, paid a visit to the Uffizi on the sidelines of their concert at the Visarno Arena in Florence on Sunday night (the only European leg of their tour), where they performed in front of 55,000 spectators. Present at the museum visit were Wayne Sermon (guitar), Ben Mc Kee (bass), and Daniel Platzmann (drums), while singer Dan Reynolds was absent.

The musicians, in the company of some family members and their respective girlfriends, thus admired with the guidance of the director of the Uffizi, Eike D. Schmidt, the works of the museum, admiring in particular the main masterpieces: the double portrait of the Dukes of Urbino by Piero della Francesca, Botticelli’s Primavera and Venus, and the rooms of Leonardo and Michelangelo. The Imagine Dragons conducted their visit during opening hours and thus had to “dribble” requests for photos and selfies from many fans, especially among younger visitors, who recognized them.

The visit to the Gallery started in San Pier Scheraggio, from Andrea del Castagno’s cycle of illustrious men, and then continued in the Gallery where it lasted about an hour. Finally, the band decided to double the cultural tour in the Uffizi complex, spending the rest of the afternoon strolling in the Boboli Gardens. Not before taking a selfie with Schmidt, however.... !

Pictured are the Imagine Dragons together with Eike Schmidt.
