Which gallery, described as formerly an office building, is said to contain Primavera and Venus of Urbino?

• A. Uffizi Gallery
• B. The Brera Gallery
• C. Prado Museum
• D. Tate Modern

Answer: (A)

This question hinges on knowing which museum houses both Botticelli’s Primavera and Titian’s Venus of Urbino, and remembering its building history. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is famous for these two Renaissance masterpieces, and its name reflects its origin: it was built in the 16th century to house the offices (uffizi) of Florence’s magistrates before becoming a public museum. That combination—the specific artworks and the building’s origin as offices—points directly to the Uffizi. The other galleries listed are in different cities and carry different collections, so they don’t fit this pairing of paintings or the office-building origin.
