Are you sure you aren't talking about the Vatican in general?
The Vatican Museums are hardly "enormous"; they've very cramped for a major museum, and you basically follow a single route, with no deviations. The entrance-way circulation is a disaster. It's like the opposite of the Louvre.

The Uffizi is popular, and fantastic, but I think much smaller than the museums towards the top. It's also not very user friendly, because you need to get tickets in advance, and it has a relatively difficult setup.
Italian museums tend to be "difficult", IMO, and things like elevators, restaurants, drinking fountains, and clear circulation are rarely in evidence (though partially due to working with very old buildings).
