The Palatine Gallery is the opposite experience to the Uffizi, and that's the whole point. Instead of marched chronological corridors, the Raphaels and Titians are hung salon-style, frame-to-frame and stacked to the ceiling in the Medici's own gilded apartments — you stand in a red-and-gold royal room with a dozen masterpieces crowding one wall, the way the dukes actually lived with them. It feels less like a museum and more like trespassing in a palace. The catch: it's enormous and confusingly split into separate museums, so go straight for the Palatine, see it well, and let the rest go.
