The Uffizi is the first systematic, organized exhibit in the world. It is called Uffizi because the building originally contained the offices of the magistrates of the Medici government. The foundation and development of the collections at the Uffizi are inextricably connected to the fortunes of the Medici family, the lords and dukes of Florence.
