No, the Mona Lisa is not currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery.
The world-renowned portrait, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, is permanently displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. It has been a central attraction of the Louvre for many years, drawing millions of visitors annually to witness its enigmatic smile.
While the Mona Lisa is famous for its long-standing presence at the Louvre, it did have a brief, notable exhibition in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Following its theft from the Louvre in 1911 and subsequent recovery, the painting was exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery for over two weeks at the end of 1913 and beginning of 1914, before being returned to the Louvre on January 4, 1914. This temporary display allowed the Italian public to view the masterpiece on their home soil before its journey back to France.
