Free Museums the First Sunday of Every Month - Discover Tuscany's Blog

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia



Welcome to 2015 and our first post of the year!! We start off reminding everyone of the possibility of enjoying free admittance at your favorite museums this year…In case you missed the news back in July 2014, every first Sunday of the month all State-run museums in Italy are free! For everyone!! All over Italy, not just Tuscany.It’s a great initiative to get more people (particularly locals who sometimes seem immune to the beauty they have been surrounded since birth ;-)) interested in culture and visiting museums, as well as archaeological sites and smaller, lesser-known museums. Unfortunately, it also means that the more popular museums, such as the Uffizi and Accademia in Florence, get even more crowded than usual. While the Polo Museale in Florence for the first few months allowed this date to be pre-booked online, back in November 2014 it decided it wasn’t really fair for those who didn’t (or couldn’t) pay the prebooking fees (even if entrance is free, prebooking had its costs). So it is no longer offering ANYONE the possibility of getting through the “advance” ticket entrance, making EVERYONE wait in line on this free days.
