The hall of Niobe will be closed until June 2012
2011
From May 2011 the room 42 in the Uffizi, called the Hall of Niobe, is closed due to some problems of the floors.
Inside are kept some marble statues from the Villa Medici in Rome, representing the myth of Niobe, the wife of the king of Thebes Anion.
This hall will be closed to visitors until June 2012 for renovation.
