Skinned seabird, unknown one, shown in international gallery (6)
I believe the answer is:
uffizi
'international gallery' is the definition.
(Italian art gallery)
'skinned seabird unknown one' is the wordplay.
'skinned' says to take the centre.
'seabird' becomes 'puffin' (puffin is a kind of seabird).
'unknown' becomes 'z' (algebra).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
The centre of 'puffin' is 'uffi'.
'uffi'+'z'+'i'='UFFIZI'
'shown in' acts as a link.
(Another definition for uffizi that I've seen is " Art gallery of Florence".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
