Red numbers mark the highlights in and around the gallery and the blue E label marks the front on Via Ricasoli where visitors go in and out; a dashed line means the point sits behind a building.

Entrance and exit

• E1 · Entrance and exit: Entrance, ticket desk and exit sit side by side here; with or without a timed-entry booking you come in through the same front, and step-free access is available. Via Ricasoli 58/60, east side of the street.

Beyond Via Ricasoli, the Florence tourist map marks the main sights across the city and comes with a free PDF to print.

The plan shows the ground floor, numbered in visit order. From the door on Via Ricasoli the route crosses the Hall of the Colossus and runs along the Hall of the Prisoners to the Tribune of the David. The plan also numbers the Gipsoteca with its 19th-century plaster casts, the rooms of the 13th and 14th centuries with Giotto, the Musical Instruments museum and the bookshop, where the lift goes up to the first floor. Room positions follow the museum's visitor map and are approximate; the first floor is not drawn.
