Creature di Gomma - Venice Vintage Toys

The exhibition Creature di Gomma - Venice Vintage Toys, was born from an idea of the Venetian collector Fabrizio Fontanella, matured over time and resulted in 2018 in a project that makes its private collection available to the public. It is an impressive collection, one of the most important in the world, of vintage puppets and toys from the sixties, seventies and eighties, the result of a passion that has lasted for thirty years. Today it counts more than 5.000 pieces. It is a Cultural Association and the entrance card, valid till the end of the year, is of 5 euro per person.

Visited this lovely place after seeing all of the wonderful reviews and it didn't disappoint! Lovely trip down memory lane with some of the characters on display, and we even discovered a few we had never seen before. Very friendly staff member talked us through the history of the collection and some of the individual pieces. Very fair price of €5, would recommend to all ages.

Doge's Palace

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.

Museo della Musica

Reviewed By AndaLibra - Bucharest, Romania

Before coming to Venice we looked for a museum dedicated to Vivaldi. Sadly we could not find anything other than this museum of old instruments hosted in San Maurizio church. We liked it very much, both history of musical instruments was very interesting, as well as "live" examples. The background was of course Vivaldi music. All in all a very nice and enlightening time spent in an atmosphere of classical music. There are a lot of interesting CDs and books that can be purchased on site. Entrance is free.

Museo di San Marco

Reviewed By Reynards42 - Isle of Wight, United Kingdom

San Marco Basilica Museum, is unfortunately not included in the tourism pass, but I my opinion is money well spent. Your €5 ticket provides access to the upper floor of the Basilica giving you closer views of the glided ceilings, the museum artefacts such as the original bronze horses from the front facade, and access to the outside viewing platform. Access to the museum is via the original steep stone staircase, and many areas are uneven, so great care must to be taken, also no access for disabled visitors. The outside viewing area gives lovely alternative views of the square and surrounding buildings, if you go early it will be quiet. Allow yourself an hour to take in the information; and take a good look around from the outside balcony

7. Scuola Dalmata S.ti Giorgio e Trifone

Scuola Dalmata S.ti Giorgio e Trifone

Reviewed By ralfkrueger2211 - Wurzburg, Germany

Hidden next to a bridge on a side canal, the building of the Scuola houses some of the most beautiful paintings of the Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio (around 14651525/26 ) Three paintings he dedicated to the Saint George. The first from left shows him how he killing the dragon. In the second Saint George killed the beast at the gates of the city. The Tryphone´s miracle behind the altar represents the Saint Tryphon who free a princess´s daughter from the clutches of the Basilisk. The right wall of the hall is dedicated to the life of Saint Hieronymus.
