The Correr Museum in Venice Ticket Reservation
Located in the heart of Venice, in St. Mark’s Square, the museum offers a fascinating insight into the art and history of Venice.
The Museo Correr takes its name from Teodoro Correr (1750-1830), a passionate art collector who was a member of an old family of the Venetian aristocracy. When he died in 1830, he donated to the city not only his works of art, but also the palazzo at San Zan Degolà in which they were housed.
The spacious rooms now houses collections that document various aspects of Venetian History, from daily life to public instutions, from naval achievements to local festivities. Through these rooms, an outstanding art collection is displayed, which continues on the second floor, covering the period from the very earliest days of Venetian painting up to the 16th century, with many of the artworks being incomparable masterpieces.
