The film covers the Uffizi, a museum in Florence with more than 500 rooms, based on the House of Medici's collection of paintings.
[1] Attention is given to the institution's staff, including Eike Schmidt, a German art historian who became its director in 2015.
[1] Birgit Rieger of Der Tagesspiegel compared Inside the Uffizi to Gerhard Richter Painting, a film by Belz from 2011, and contrasted the distance with which the Uffizi personnel is portrayed to the intimacy of the previous film.
[2] Simon Hauck of Kino-Zeit said Inside the Uffizi contains joy and fascination, has the form of an "art-film essay" and in its best moments "also functions as a documentary meta-film about the desire to look at oneself in the shadow of history and turbo-technology since the turn of the millennium".
[4] Inside the Uffizi was nominated for the German Film Award for Best Sound.
