1) Botticelli's Primi Verdi can be viewed in what museum? I'm going to guess Libby is right with the rest, but I'm guessing that maybe you meant La Primavera: www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/botticelli/If so, it's in the Uffizi in Florence. |

Red faced!Sheesh...that's what I get for trying to do things from my memory instead of checking myself!
You did well on my little bored quiz....the only one that I could quibble about was 7...yes it is Ireland but I was thinking about the specific region Connemara. 
Thanks for playing!
