A fascinating itinerary to discover the art and history of Venice, winding from the Napoleonic Wing to the neoclassical halls, with sculptures by Canova, to the Procuratie Nuove, with historical collections describing Venetian Culture and Ancient Art Collection.
On the second floor, a rich collection of Venetian painting from its origin to the 16th century and the Renaissance Museum.
Originally designed as residence for the new sovereign, the Napoleonic Wing would only be finished in the 19th century, with Venice under Austrian rule, serving as the official residence of the Hapsburg Court, and would after become the Venetian residence of the King of Italy.
Established thanks to the collection Teodoro Correr left his city in 1830, the museum offers many itineraries: the first one along the Napoleonic Wing to the neoclassical halls, treasuring a remarkable collection of works by the sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822). The second one to the Procuratie Nuove, by the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552-1616), in which the highest offices of Serenissima were housed.
Inside there is also the Museum of Venetian art and history, illustrating the different aspects of Venetian history and culture, like everyday life, institutions, sea feats, city events and festivals.
In four rooms of the first floor, there are the Antique Art Collections, dedicated to the bronzetto, a particular kind of art, with important samples between 15th and 17th century.
Up on the second floor the quadreria (a collection of paintings) with some important masterpieces of Venetian paintings by Lorenzo Veneziano, Bellini, Carpaccio, Cosmè Tura, Antonello da Messina, Lorenzo Lotto, with a set-up by Carlo Scarpa.
On the second floor, there is also the Renaissance Museum, established for educational purpose, it preserves documents, antiques, paintings and printings of this century’s Italian history.
