Art Gallery Was So Crowded That I Only Saw Art Through Other People’s Smartphones

The Uffizi Gallery of Firenze was so crowded when I visited that it was impossible to take good pictures of Botticelli’s and da Vinci’s paintings.

So I decided to photograph other visitors while they are taking pictures of these famous canvases.

This is sad to me. Whenever I go anywhere to experience it first hand, I don't want it to be covered up by phones. Its everywhere you go these days no one can just watch it without recording or pictures. Half the time when I do it I don't even watch or look at them. One or two, isn't bad but when you are blocking someones view the entire time its rude. Thank you for sharing! Maybe this will give someone else a hint to put down their phones and admire the picture.

This is why we go through museums and galleries backwards. I'm serious. We start on the top floor and work our way down, which is counter to the way most people do it. We were at Musee Picasse and Musee Rodin this fall when we were in Paris. Both were filled with idiots who literally ran through exhibits with their cameras. I stopped to look at a series of variations on a Picasso print and some idiot told me I was "in her picture". I told her there's a gift shop, she should buy the book. Half a dozen people laughed.
