Today we went to the Uffizi Gallery which is one of the most beautiful and important museums in the world. It houses some of the greatest masterpieces of art, most of which comes from the private collection of the Medici family. Masterpieces such as Renaissance artist, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and "Primavera" are located there. Also, we saw Leonardo da Vinci's "Annunciation" and the unfinished "Adoration of the Magi". Since this painting was never finished, we were able to see how Leonardo would start a painting. This was very interesting. We purchased several books and a comprehensive video on the Uffizi artwork that we can't wait to share with our students.
that sounds so cool and i bet you saw a lot of beautiful paintings
