Museo Correr - 1st Floor Itinerary
The Correr museum is an essential stop for anyone wishing to learn about the history of Venice. Immerse yourself in the variety and richness of its collections, divided into major thematic areas – the neoclassical rooms, the collection of works by Antonio Canova, and the history and civilization of Venice – to discover the many facets of the collection donated to the city by the nobleman Teodoro Correr, thus forming the foundation of today’s civic museums.
Museo Correr – Painting Gallery, 2nd Floor
The Painting Gallery of the Museo Correr houses numerous masterpieces of Venetian painting, as well as works from the Ferrarese, Northern European, and Cretan schools, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Set up in 1960 by the famous architect Carlo Scarpa, with a clear rationalist imprint, it remains today a masterful example of modern museography.
