Museums in Venice

A glorious palace on the Grand Canal that once hosted opulent galas is now home to the Museum of 18th Century Venice.

In the Piazza San Marco, Venice's famous square, is a museum that holds art and cultural displays of the city's great artists.

Palazzo Fortuny is a Gothic-style Venetian palace that was the home and workshop of artist Mariano Fortuny.

You get a double-whammy of art in this museum, with the building by Palladio and the artwork from a galaxy of Venetian art stars.

It's hard to miss the gleaming white stout palace that houses the Peggy Guggenheim Museum on Venice's Grand Canal.

In the city of the edgy Biennale and the Peggy Guggenheim museum, Venice has a reputation as a center of contemporary arts in Italy.

Established by the last count of the noble Querini Stampalia family, this "casa-museo" shows off the princely residence as well as an impressive art collection.

One of the "Grandi Scuole" of Venice created by lay confraternities is that of San Rocco, which was established in 1478 and continues to this day.
