Things to do in Venice, Veneto: The Best Museums
With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Le Stanze del Vetro (The Glass Rooms) is dedicated to Exhibitions of Glass. It is located behind the church on the island of Saint Giorgio Maggiore opposite the Doges Palace in the Historic Centre of Venice. From the water bus stop for line No 2 in front of the church walk to the left round the side of the church to find the Glass rooms to the right. They generally have two exhibitions per year. One which runs from September to the following January is devoted to a glass designer, or designers from Murano. Recent examples are the Cappellin workshop, the designer Carlo Scarpa, the Venini workshop many designers. The current exhibition is on Thomas Stearns for Venini. The other exhibition runs from April to July is devoted to other European glass designers and workshops. The space comprises 7 or 8 rooms and ip to 300 works are often displayed with excellent background information, sketches and drawings also exhibited . Collections displayed are assembled from loans from many private and public collections throughout the world. The exhibition is a free and open every day except Wednesday. I recommend these excellent exhibitions as an opportunity to see works that are otherwise often only seen in books . A first rate series of catalogues have been produced and many are available and are extremely good value. The exhibition space is run jointly by the Cini Foundation in Venice and the Pentagram Stiftung.

This shop is absolutely amazing! We wandered in after just getting engaged in Venice and Roberto greeted us and he was so lovely and friendly. We asked about a few pieces and Roberto was so helpful and accommodating - he showed us all the pieces on the table and this allowed us to see how they looked. He happily answered my partners questions and did a really good deal with us that we ended up buying the most beautiful piece of art! Roberto happily got this shipped out to us in the UK - we have been back a week and have just received our art piece - it is absolutely beautiful! And such quick delivery. Roberto got this signed for us which we are so happy about. I would highly recommend this shop to anybody visiting Venice - it is genuine amazing glasswork compared to the other shops. The shop had a beautiful layout and we could have spent all day looking at every piece of art! Thank you so much Roberto for making our trip in Venice so memorable and helping us to find a beautiful piece of art to remember our amazing trip and engagement!!

A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the building and its sculptural decoration date from various periods. The interior, with works by artists such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, A.Vittoria and Tiepolo, includes vast council chambers, superbly decorated residential apartments, and austere prison cells. Along the facades of the Palace run loggias that overlook St. Mark’s Square and the lagoon. The combined entrance ticket to the St. Mark’s Square Museums grants access to the Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of Biblioteca Marciana.

Located in the heart of Venice, the gallery perfectly embodies the spirit of the group Bel-Air Fine Art and its attention to neo post-pop-art, street art, and optical art. The gallery are proud to present us with a rich selection of exclusive, internationally acclaimed, contemporary artists such as Carole A. Feuerman, Banksy, Mr Brainwash, Patrick Hughes and many others. The gallery is extremely beautiful, interesting and intriguing. It was a real pleasure to visit it, we enjoyed.
