The director of the Uffizi Galleries, Eike Schmidt, has happily announced a new system for managing access to the museum site that allows queues to be reduced to zero.
It consists of a coupon, which the visitor will have to pick up at the interactive kiosks under the Uffizi loggia, on which the “right” time to visit is recorded, that is, the time when, when the visitor reappears at the entrance, he or she will no longer have to wait and will thus be able to access the museum.
The time is the result of a statistical calculation studied over a two-year period of data collection, which considers visit times and variables.
The new coupon was tested during the last free Sunday in the high season, and the system worked. “Seventy-five hundred and sixty-one visitors showed up in the gallery, and everyone got in without standing in line,” Schmidt said.
Soon this zero-code tool will be used every day, becoming the ordinary way to enter the Uffizi.
