Galleries & Museums

Galleria dell Accademia

“The finest of many art collections in Venice”.

Gallery Focus: The Accademia hosts the most important collection of paintings of the Venetian school. Masterpieces by Bellini, Giorgione, Tintoretto and Titian grace the walls, as do the timeless Venetian views by Canaletto. It seems so appropriate to go outside to trace the locations he worked from.

Ca d’Oro - Galleria Giorgio Francetti

“A rich collection in one of the most famous civilian buildings in Venice”.

Gallery Focus: The core collection includes sculptures, furniture, plus 16th century Flemish tapestries and bronzes. A gallery houses important canvases such as Andrea Mantegna’s San Sebastiano and Titian’s Venus at the Mirror. Lesser known paintings by Tintoretto, Carpaccio, Van Dyck, Giorgione, and Jan Steen also feature here.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection

“An impressive, small museum on the Grand Canal”.

Gallery Focus: The permanent collection is a wonderful insight into modernist development at the beginning of the 20th century. Worth seeing are the Cubist pieces by Picasso, Dalí, Ernst and Magritte. Don’t miss the beautiful Boccioni painting ‘Materia’ (1912), a highlight of the futurist movement.

Correr Museum

“An opportunity to discover the art and history of Venice”.

Gallery Focus: Bequeathed to the city by the aristocratic Correr family in 1830, this museum features interesting paintings of Venetian life, and a fine collection of artefacts, such as coins, costumes, the Doges’ ceremonial robes and hats.

The Glass Museum - Murano

“Many stunning works of art from glass”.

Gallery Focus: Located on the island of Murano, this collection is laid out chronologically. Roman works dating from the 1st - 3rd centuries AD progress through to the largest historical collection of Murano glass in the world, with many world-famous pieces dating from the 15th - 20th centuries.

The Lace Museum - Burano

“Admire beautiful lace produced on this island over centuries”.

Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace)

“An exceptional building at the centre of Venice life for centuries”.

Scuola Grande di San Rocco

“Famous for its magnificent collection of paintings by Jacopo Tintoretto”.
