Venice is a city of museums — there’s something for every taste, from contemporary art to the story of the life of the Serenissima at the height of its splendour. Here is a selection of the ones we consider unmissable.
Correr Museum
Overlooking St Mark’s Square, this museum tells the history, culture and art of Venice, including the Napoleonic Wing and Sissi’s flat from the Habsburg years.
Ca’ Rezzonico
Dedicated to the 18th century period of the Republic, an incredible place to immerse yourself in the life of the Venetian nobles of the time.
Doge’s Palace
Not only a museum but one of the symbols of the city, home to Tintoretto’s famous 84-metre-long painting, Paradise.
Accademia Galleries and Peggy Guggenheim Collection
The Accademia Galleries house paintings typical of Venetian art from the 14th to 18th centuries, while the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is unmissable both for its art and for the palace itself.
