The Uffizi Gallery of Italy ( Palazzo Vecchio) is an Italian Uffizi museum located in Florence, one of the world's first art museums, founded by the famous Medici family, from its inception was the richest art treasure trove of the Renaissance, with a large number of the world's most precious works of art.

Florentine is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance It is here that the most brilliant and glorious Italian Renaissance art in the history of mankind sprang to maturity. Florencia has a rich artistic atmosphere, with its many churches, palaces and art galleries attracting visitors from all over the world, and classical works of human artistic talent can be seen everywhere. For art lovers, the Uffizi Gallery is undoubtedly the most magnificent of the "City of Flowers" ("Florentine" means "City of Flowers" in Italian). ").

The Uffizi Gallery was built in 1560 and has been in existence for four centuries. The building was originally built at the behest of Cosimo I of the Medici family to serve as the offices of the Duchy of Florence. The office is pronounced in Italian as UFFIZI (UFFIZI an English word for OFFICE), so this became the subsequent name of this art museum.

Because the collection was really too large, some of the collections had to be transferred to other museums in Florence. For example, some famous sculptures were placed in the Bajero Museum. The Uffizi expansion project began in 2006 and is expected to be completed in 2011. After the expansion, the exhibition area will increase from 6,000 square meters to approximately 13,000 square meters. This will allow many works that were previously in storage to be exhibited in public.

In 1993, a car bomb exploded, causing partial damage to the museum. The most serious damage was to the Niobe Room: some of the frescoes were completely destroyed and some sculptures needed to be restored. In August 2007, a heavy rainstorm in Florence caused serious leaks in some of the galleries and required the evacuation of visitors. Today, Uffizi is the most popular tourist attraction in Florence. During the high season, especially in July, the queue to get into the museum can be very long.
