Cheers to more art.
December was a crazy busy month
for me and the Art Cabinet team.
So, we decided to wait until the
next cycle to release our newest
edition. This February edition of The
Art Cabinet includes a lot about
our editor-in-chief, Grayson Wise.
She just hosted “Coffee with the
Collection” at the Fred Jones Jr.
Museum of Art regarding her art-
work “She’s a Dreamer: Italian
Remnants,” so we wanted
to spotlight her work as an artist
and an art historian.

the
Uffizi Diffusi project
and tourists behavior towards art
by Jenna Purvis
The Uffizi Museum has created the “Uffizi Diffusi” project that
was set to begin in 2021. The objective of this project is to
prevent overtourism in the museum, as well as in Florence,
and for the more popular works of art in the museum to not
overshadow the rest of their collection. Tourists, who are not
local to Italy, will typically congregate to the more famous
pieces the museum has to offer such as Bottecelli’s Birth of
Venus, Titian’s Venus of Urbino, and Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo,
or The Holy Family. While all of these pieces are great works of
art, there is still an entire museum filled with other great art-
works that many tourists may ignore or speed past just to see
the more well known artworks.
This comes to the forefront when comparing the two types of
tourists that come to the museum, local tourists and the previ-
ously mentioned international tourists. According to the CDC
Travel, local tourists typically visit museums in order to see
works from locations relevant to their hometowns. Internation-
al tourists create an issue for local tourists when the more
famous artworks that international tourists flock to are given a
precedence over the artworks a local tourist may visit to see. If
a local tourist comes to the Uffizi to see one particular piece
and it is not available for viewing then not only have they wast-
ed their time traveling to the museum, but they contribute the
extensive overtourism the museum experiences. Part of the
Uffizi Diffusi project aims to return works of art to their original
Italian towns. This way locals, or local organizations that hold
works from the Uffizi, would be able to control how available
the artwork is displayed to the public that desires to see it. This
also turns the Uffizi museum into many widely dispersed
museums throughout Italy. Florence would also benefit from
the Uffizi Diffusi project as the overtourism that is prevalent
throughout the city would most likely lessen due to the draw
of the Uffizi to tourists.
