The Uffizi Gallery

This grand 16th century building stretches from the Palazzo Vecchio to the river Arno. Inside are many of the worlds finest works of art, from the 13th century religious frescoes to Renaissance masterpieces by the likes of Giotto, Beato Angelico, Botticelli, Mantegna, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. There is also an extensive collection of Dutch masters including Durer, Rembrandt, and Rubens, For me I find one gets somewhat of a sensory overload in a museum like this but a highlight was seeing the restored Leonardo's drawings for his "Adoration of the Maggi".
