Uffizi Gallery
Renaissance art repository
The Uffizi Gallery is an art museum in Florence, Italy, housing one of the world's most important collections of Renaissance masterpieces.
Built in the 16th century as offices (*uffizi*) for Florentine magistrates, it holds works by Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
