This beautiful catalogue / guide would be ideal (except for slightly large size) to carry through the museum. It is arranged room-by-room, showing exactly where every picture is in the room, and providing expanded discussions of the most important / beautiful works. It also is a wonderful keepsake of this astounding gallery, perhaps the greatest collection of Renaissance painting in the world. The Uffizi is manageable enough to be seen in one visit, but this book makes one long to do a systematic inventory, a few rooms per day, for however long it takes to bask in and digest the glory of its collection. (P.S.: When visiting the Uffizi, telephone in advance to get a reservation; this saves lots of time and the tedium of a long line.) ( )

Guia oficial, sala por sala, para quem quer visitar o museu. E, é claro, para quem se interessa pelas obras de arte expostas nos Uffizi.
As análises são ótimas, mas para quem quer apenas ter uma noção das obras expostas compensa visitar a wikipédia italiana, que apresenta uma lista completa, também sala por sala:

Solid guide to the Uffizi in Florence. Very useful when going around the museum itself, and well-illustrated enough that it's worth keeping afterwards. ( )

For paintings alone, this is my favorite art museum in the world. The guide is well done, with beautiful reproductions and informative text. ( )
