3. Museo di Palazzo Grimani

4.5 based on 243 reviews
Open to the public on December 20, 2008, after a long restoration, it is currently a Museum belonging to the Veneto Museum Pole. Palazzo Grimani constitutes for the city of Venice a particularly precious novelty for the originality of the architecture, for the decorations and for its history. The long restoration by the Superintendence included the interior decorations, including: the Camerino di Callisto, with stucco by Giovanni da Udine; the Camerino di Apollo, with frescoes by Francesco Salviati and Giovanni da Udine; the Sala del Doge Antonio, decorated with stucco and polychrome marbles; the Sala a Fogliami by Camillo Mantovano, with the ceiling entirely covered with fruit trees, flowers and animals; and the Tribune that housed more than a hundred pieces of the archaeological collection. Here, the sculpture depicting the Kidnapping of Ganimede is suspended in the center of the vault decorated by lacunae.

A very well restored palazzo, home to one of Venice's greatest families. From the Renaissance courtyard you move to the first and second floors. The latter hosts temporary exhibitions; the former shows the family's grandeur, and is particularly interesting because the 16th century Grimanis seem strongly influenced by Roman and Florentine Mannerism.

The Museum is housed in the old convent of "San Francesco fuori le mura", whose building dates back to 1315. In 1806, the church was deconsecrated and the convent became a warehouse; since 1997, thanks to the contribution of European Union, the spaces hold the exhibition halls. The itinerary starts on the ground floor with various antiquities found in the Venetian lagoon. Ceramics, glasses and coins tell us about the way of life and the city-trades from the pre-Roman times. The room on the first floor is devoted to the cartographer Sabbadino, who realized an accurate map of Chioggia in 1557. Several saltpans are depicted: in the Middle Ages, the city was an important centre for the production of the precious "sal Clugiae". On the second floor, the exhibit explores the local shipbuilding system and the professions of seafaring. Among the numerous models, the most typical one is the "Bragozzo", a local 19th-century boat, with its sails, nets and windshields.

Although this is the original church that Vivaldi would have known, it was certainly a great place to visit, with the great musicians music playing through speakers. Regularly a venue for concerts as well. Well worth a look.

Not for land-lubbers: this museum has filled its four floors with interesting maritime objects, including the banners that were flown by the Venetian fleet at Lepanto.

Having in mind that for many years Venice was a great naval power in Mediterranean area, visiting the Naval History Museum is almost a must while you are in Venice. For 10 euro admission ticket, you have access to two different locations hosting the exhibits of the Museum: the Museum main building on Riva San Biagio Castello 2148 and Ships Pavilion on Rio della Tana Castello 2162 c, close to the Arsenal bridge. In the main building of the Museum we admired a large collection of scale models which were used for shipbuilding, naval instruments and weapons, uniforms, documents … In the Ships Pavilion we had the opportunity to see a nice collection of real-size historical ships. We were very pleased with the time spent in this Museum.
