Of course one can’t miss a visit to the Accademia, Scuola Grande St Rocco, Palazzo Grande, The Peggy Guggenheim Collection or the many renowned churches, but there are also exquisite small museums scattered throughout Venice that are definitely worth a visit.

What is GOOD TO KNOW by goodtoknow

  • Venice > Discover a New Museum >
    • we love GALLERIA GIORGIO FRANCHETTI ALLA CA’ D’ORO

    Dating from the 15th century, this beautiful palazzo on the Grand Canal is now home to the Baron Giorgio Franchetti’s Collection including a wonderful painting of St. Sebastien by Mantegna and Titian’s glorious nude wrapped in fur.  When the sun is shining and the water is sparkling, the views of the Canal through the gothic arched windows are extraordinary.


    we love MUSEO FORTUNY

    This former home of Mariano Fortuny now displays the vast range of his creative endeavors including glorious fabrics as well as examples of his paintings, sculpture, textiles and theatre design.  The fabrics are especially revered for his use of ancient Renaissance techniques and dyes as well as his method of weaving with gold and silver threads.
