A patrician residence at San Stae, Palazzo Mocenigo houses valuable 18th century artworks and is also home to the Study Centre for the History of Textiles and Costumes. A fine selection of rare textiles and costumes of particular importance are displayed. The collection is laid out with a significant importance given to garments and accessories. Mainly of Venetian origin, the works are often embellished with lace and embroidery, skills of several artisans who made such a contribution to that refined luxury and elegance for which the Venetians of those days were famous for.

Venice has a surfeit of riches - especially when it comes to historic attractions. The “Premier League” ones such as the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s etc. are so popular, that a visit requires some prior planning – or a long time standing in line. If you don’t have the appetite for either, then the Palazzo Mocenigo could be the place you are looking for. You just alight from the #1 vaporetto at San Stae, walk up the “salizada” to the right of the church and within seconds – you’re there. The Palazzo is billed as being the best preserved example, of a noble Venetian family’s residence. A family that produced an impressive seven Doge’s, during the 15th through to the 18th centuries. On that count alone, it does not disappoint. The rooms are obviously a shadow of their “peak opulence” but are still very impressive. Throw in the artworks, a display of 18th century clothing and an interesting exhibition on the development of the perfume industry and you have a very enjoyable couple of hours. The whole experience was amplified by the unaggressive stewardship of the staff. On so many occasions, a visit to an attraction has been ruined by the wail of proximity alarms, or the piercing gaze of overly cautious guardians. Not that I blame establishments for this, tourists can be monumentally stupid at times. Plonking their derrieres on delicate antique furniture and above all, exhibiting a curious desire to touch anything within reach. On the whole - we get what we deserve. Palazzo Mocenigo may not be at the top of Venice’s “must see” list of attractions but a visit should satisfy almost everybody’s expectations – and then some.

The Ca'd'Oro designed by Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon and built between 1428 and 1430 for the Contarini family, one of the most important families in Venice of which eight members were Doges between 1043 and 1676, has a Ventian Gothic facade which has been the inspiration for paintings and architecture around the world, such as the building of the same name in Glasgow, Scotland. (Glasgow also has a building modelled on the Doge's Palace). Ca'd'Oro's last owner, Baron Giorgio Franchetti collected art and restored the palazzi as a suitable home in which to display his splendid collection. If that isn't enough to see on a visit, Carpenters Workshop Gallery have filled the historic rooms with amazing artistic contemporary furniture, lighting and objects by a host of artists including Nacho Carbonell, Wendell Castle, Vincenzo de Coiis, Studio Drift, Marten Baas, Stuart Haygarth, Vincent Dubourg, Atelier Van Lieshout, Random International, the Verheven Twins and Rick Owens in what is undoubtedly one of the best shows within the city itself during this year's Biennale.
