Where to start this museum is absolutely incredible, so much to see so many beautiful paintings, magnificent place that also holds Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci, sadly that wasn't on display and people that work there explained that they display it once in every couple of years. Regardless of Da Vinci museum is still so amazing that is worth the visit and should definitely be a stop once in Venice.
This is a don't miss on a visit to Venice. Don't miss because of the architecture and the art. The building was an old palace converted to an art academy then a lovely and well created museum. I was especially impressed by the art from the Syphilis hospital! Even the floors were beautiful! We did buy tickets in advance but if you don't go at busy times you don't really need to buy ahead.
Visited on : Sun, Mar 1, 2026 Price : Free, First Sunday of the month They were offering free entry because of the date, which online ticket booking wasn’t available. The exhibits, were quite appealing. To enjoy thoroughly, saving 2-3 hours for the museum is recommended.
As usual with Italian museums: messy and confusing outline, however, beautiful pieces. This a perfect gateway to understand Venice, not as city in Italy, but as the historically independent, powerful and proud city it is. A republic and colonial power for centuries, I found this to be the closest to a “national gallery of Venice”, even though it mostly comprises renaissance art. Short visit, and, fortunately, quite empty (low season, winter). I loved this place.
A great museum that shows the best of Venice’s masterpieces from the renaissance, baroque, and neoclassical movements. We liked the Bellini’s, and Tiepolo’s personally. Also great collection of Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese masterworks. The curators did a well job designing the layout of the museum, it all was very clear and easy to follow.
