Things to do in Venice, Veneto: The Best Museums
With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Arianna, the young owner of Plum Plum Creations, shows the whole printing process in her Art studio in Cannaregio district in Venice, just behind the Jewish Ghetto. You can attend a print session with Arianna and then you'll have the chance to buy her wonderful handmade prints. Also, if you are interested in printmaking techniques, you can attend a print workshop and create your own Art print to take home with you!

There are hundreds of glass & leather shops in Venice but only one Plum Plum! Arianna’s shop is a working studio which is so interesting to see and her specialized artwork is dreamy. I love supporting up & coming artists, and this young women and her talent should not be missed! -Christine, Seattle WA
6. European Cultural Centre - Palazzo Mora

I visited the Palazzo Mora two years ago at the last Biennale and it was a great experience so I was keen to visit again. The Palazzo is an easy miss and difficult to find even on the busy street its situated on. You are immediately caught by the sight of the 3 hooded figures in the courtyard and then by the modern sculpture of Pinocchio. There are three floors of exhibits to view in a maze of rooms. If art isn't exactly your thing there is such a broad spectrum of exhibits here there is something there that should move or inspire you. But what's more its also free so worth taking advantage of in Venice.

The Ca'd'Oro designed by Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon and built between 1428 and 1430 for the Contarini family, one of the most important families in Venice of which eight members were Doges between 1043 and 1676, has a Ventian Gothic facade which has been the inspiration for paintings and architecture around the world, such as the building of the same name in Glasgow, Scotland. (Glasgow also has a building modelled on the Doge's Palace). Ca'd'Oro's last owner, Baron Giorgio Franchetti collected art and restored the palazzi as a suitable home in which to display his splendid collection. If that isn't enough to see on a visit, Carpenters Workshop Gallery have filled the historic rooms with amazing artistic contemporary furniture, lighting and objects by a host of artists including Nacho Carbonell, Wendell Castle, Vincenzo de Coiis, Studio Drift, Marten Baas, Stuart Haygarth, Vincent Dubourg, Atelier Van Lieshout, Random International, the Verheven Twins and Rick Owens in what is undoubtedly one of the best shows within the city itself during this year's Biennale.

Pay the extra entrance fee to have the guided tour of the three superb places of worship - they show synagogues from different centuries and distinct expressions of Jewish identity. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered questions sensitively. After the tour the contents of the museum had higher impact upon us as a result of hearing the earlier history and context. The museum has many remarkable artefacts and beautiful explanations of their history and significance. The English text is of high quality. The visit made us want to learn more about how the Italian Jewish population survived the German occupation and how ordinary Italians resisted German efforts to transport Jews out of Italy. Well worth a visit.
