The Uffizi gallery in Florence has refurbished some rooms, mainly those housing pictures by Botticelli and van der Weyden. It's the first time they've been renovated since 1978. In the video above you can see them moving one of the Botticellis. More details here.
Wonderful. But you still have to queue for an age to get in. And there's no functioning website, or online collection.
