20120531c_FlorenceUffiziBotticelliVenus Botticelli's "Birth of Venus"

Florence's famous Uffizi gallery. The name literally means "offices" and was originally used by the Medici not only as a place of business but to house their incredible art collection. This is one of the world's greatest galleries. I highly recommend getting tickets online in advance and avoiding the lineup, especially in busy seasons.
