Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Our 6th visit to Venezia and the first time we visit the Collection and the Cafe (see separate review).

    What a delight and such a brilliant location.

    On January you se the Exhibits and not the crowds.

    Do visit.

    This is an amazing art collection and despite four rooms being closed for renovation we still managed to spend over three hours there. However, the works we saw, though beautifully painted, were all religious so might not appeal to everyone. It was extremely quiet which was good.

    This museum closes at 5pm in the winter season and we arrived shortly before 4pm. We managed to see all 3 floors of the museum in an hour, but we had to rush ourselves through it. The top floor is not decorated as grandly as the lower two floors but the artwork is much better.

    Museo Correr is located in St. Mark's Square is one of the 11 civic museums run by the Venice Municipality. The museum extends along the southside of the square on the upper floors of the Procuratorie Nuove. With its rich and varied collections, the Museo Correr covers both the art and history of Venice.

    The Museo Correr originated with the collection bequeathed to the city of Venice in 1830 by Teodoro Correr. He was a meticulous and passionate collector, dedicating most of his life to the collection of both works of art and documents or individual objects that reflected the history of Venice. Upon his death, all this material was donated to the city, together with the family's Grand Canal palace which then housed it. The nobleman also left the city funds to be used in conserving and extending the collections and in making them available to the public.

    Definitely worth the visit, especially if you're in the Cannaregio area. The collection has a fine group of Venetian Renaissance and Baroque artists -- Bernini, Guardi, Mantegna, Tintoretto, Titian, Vivarini and much more. Plus a group of Dutch Golden Age paintings from Steen, Van Ostaade, van de Velde and others. If you're near the Rialto on the San Polo side of the Grand Canal, you can take a traghetto gondola across the Canal for two euros a person. Catch the traghetto at Rialto and you're just a few steps from the Ca' d'Oro entrance.

    Very interesting collection of modern art that concentrates on Italian moderns... futurists, metaphysical art, Morandi. There's a good representation of American pop artists as well. Highlights include the four Giorgi de Chirico, two Anselm Kiefer and a beautiful Klimt.

    Well worth a visit. I convinced my group to go to Fortuny out of love for Proust's novel where he buys Albertine a Fortuny gown, the height of belle epoque fashion. Fortuny was a true renaissance man and the curator has showcased this in a fabulous way, from his inventions (stage lighting) to Fortuny's drawings, photographs, paintings and fabric designs. It is a truly Venetian experience!

    We enjoyed the interior and varied displays. Good if you are a history and design aficionado like me. A better guide would be useful.

    A wonderful gallery full of interesting modern art in a lovely restored palace.
    A must see. Not too large.

    The museum was founded in the 19th century through the will of Giovanni Querini Stampalia, who left the family's art and books collection to create an institution dedicated to "good studies." The medium-sized art collection, of 17 rooms, is concentrated on sixteenth and seventeen Venetian art, with good baroque and rococo selections from Cervelli, Creti, Da Lanciano, Giordano, Langetti, Longhi -- a very interesting group of seven paintings illustrating the Sacraments -- Ricci, Strozzi, Tiepolo and Tintoretto. There are several other masterworks in this somewhat esoteric collection: from the Giambano of 1420 and the beautiful Bellini from 1460 to the Joseph Kosuth installation in neon from 1997. A quieter, calmer experience that most Venetian museums. Very enjoyable visit without the crowds.

    Carlo Scarpa… although I saw this exhibition some years back , on St Georgia Island, it remains for me one of the most beautiful and memorable exhibitions I have ever been fortunate enough to view.
    The curator was indeed an artist .. such an eye for placement and balance… and the love of Scarpa’s glass obvious … it was nothing short of a gift.

    We took the "traghetto" from just outside the fish market to Ca' d'Oro, an impressive late Gothic palace. Baron Giorgio Franchetti who took on the building in a poor state of repair, completed extensive renovations so he had somewhere to house his art collection. In 1916 Franchetti donated both the building and his collection to the Italian State. The building has some beautiful architectural features with an impressive mosaic in the inner courtyard.

    On display are paintings, tapestries, bronzes and sculptures, as well as many religious works from demolished churches. We certainly gained knowledge on how to spot different religious figures from Sebastian to Gregory.

    The galley also has some open balconies where you get great views of the canal side buildings and Venice rooftops, the Grande Canal itself and you really get the perspective of just how busy the waterway is with the varietoy of boats from water buses, taxis, gondoliers to the many delivery boats.

    Well worth a visit.

    A unique City. Wonderful. We went in June and the weather is perfect. Avoid the crowds in St Marco. Stop in sSan Croce or Dorsoduro for good economic accommodation, bars and restaurants Use the Vaporettos to commute and visit the islands Burano and Murano and book the free walking tours in advance.

    Highly professional multimedia presentation. You progress through 7 rooms at a pace determined by the programme (~45mins total); commentary (through headphones) progresses as you move from room to room. Comprehensive overview of Giotto's life and work, but no real artworks by Giotto. Worth a rating of 5 for the presentation and content, but expensive, hence a rating of 4.
