Uffizi
Tuscan art repository
The Uffizi is an art museum in Florence, Italy, housed in a 16th-century building originally designed as government offices—uffizi means "offices" in Italian.
It holds one of the world's most important collections of Renaissance art, including works by Botticelli, Leonardo, and Michelangelo.
We spent an entire day at the Uffizi.
