The Uffizi Gallery is a very large two-wing art museum in Florence, Italy, built between 1560 and 1581. It is located on the bank of the Arno River. It was designed by Giogio Vasari. The museum was partly flooded in 1966. One wing was damaged by a car bombing in 1993, which was attributed to the Sicilian Mafia.
An expansion of the galleries in 2006 was designed to more than double the available display areas, from 6000 sq. feet to more than 13,000 sq. feet.
