Abstract

How can we entice adolescents into a “behind- the- scenes” world of an art library? The internship project at the Prints and Drawings Library is now in its 7th successful year. Young Florentine students are introduced to the working of the bibliographic research done by the librarians and are given the opportunity to carry out their own projects. At the end of the week they visit the masterpieces on show in the Uffizi Gallery.
