A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the building and its sculptural decoration date from various periods. The interior, with works by artists such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, A.Vittoria and Tiepolo, includes vast council chambers, superbly decorated residential apartments, and austere prison cells. Along the facades of the Palace run loggias that overlook St. Mark’s Square and the lagoon. The combined entrance ticket to the St. Mark’s Square Museums grants access to the Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of Biblioteca Marciana.

Before coming to Venice we looked for a museum dedicated to Vivaldi. Sadly we could not find anything other than this museum of old instruments hosted in San Maurizio church. We liked it very much, both history of musical instruments was very interesting, as well as "live" examples. The background was of course Vivaldi music. All in all a very nice and enlightening time spent in an atmosphere of classical music. There are a lot of interesting CDs and books that can be purchased on site. Entrance is free.
5. Museo di San Marco

Reviewed By Reynards42 - Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
San Marco Basilica Museum, is unfortunately not included in the tourism pass, but I my opinion is money well spent. Your €5 ticket provides access to the upper floor of the Basilica giving you closer views of the glided ceilings, the museum artefacts such as the original bronze horses from the front facade, and access to the outside viewing platform. Access to the museum is via the original steep stone staircase, and many areas are uneven, so great care must to be taken, also no access for disabled visitors. The outside viewing area gives lovely alternative views of the square and surrounding buildings, if you go early it will be quiet. Allow yourself an hour to take in the information; and take a good look around from the outside balcony

The first from left shows him how he killing the dragon. In the second Saint George killed the beast at the gates of the city. The Tryphone´s miracle behind the altar represents the Saint Tryphon who free a princess´s daughter from the clutches of the Basilisk.

9. Museo di Zoologia Adriatica Giuseppe Olivi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
At the Museum "Giuseppe Olivi" visitors can examine many Adriatic organisms and learn about their characteristics and the typical marine and brackish environments of this area. In each room, descriptive panels and multimedia stations introduce themes concerning the loss of biodiversity, the fragility of ecosystems and the vulnerability of species. These presentations are aimed to provide insights into the relationship between man and sea ecosystems, tradition and innovation in the use of resources, and the future of managing activities. We hope the museum "Giuseppe Olivi" shall contribute to the raising of respect and responsibility towards the sea, an inheritance which, today more than ever, requires a sustainable approach to be managed.
10. Museo Civico della Laguna Sud
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
The Museum is housed in the old convent of "San Francesco fuori le mura", whose building dates back to 1315. In 1806, the church was deconsecrated and the convent became a warehouse; since 1997, thanks to the contribution of European Union, the spaces hold the exhibition halls. The itinerary starts on the ground floor with various antiquities found in the Venetian lagoon. Ceramics, glasses and coins tell us about the way of life and the city-trades from the pre-Roman times. The room on the first floor is devoted to the cartographer Sabbadino, who realized an accurate map of Chioggia in 1557. Several saltpans are depicted: in the Middle Ages, the city was an important centre for the production of the precious "sal Clugiae". On the second floor, the exhibit explores the local shipbuilding system and the professions of seafaring. Among the numerous models, the most typical one is the "Bragozzo", a local 19th-century boat, with its sails, nets and windshields.
