Exhibition on view from May 22nd through October 17th, 2010.
Tucked between the Arno and the Piazza della Signoria, you will find one of the most famous museums in the world, the Uffizi Gallery.
The Uffizi occupies the top floor of the large, horseshoe-shaped building that was built by Giorgio Vasari between the years of 1560 and 1580. It was originally built to house the administrative offices of the Tuscan State.
Quote of the MomentIn my opinion you've become far too infatuated with these travelers. From the Away Team reports, they seem to be afflicted with terminal wanderlust. Risk taking thrill seekers with no responsibility to the ideals of exploration. In short ... bad news.
