Museo Correr

History lovers will enjoy exploring the Museo Correr, where they can take a look back in time through Venice’s extraordinary past. The exhibits and displays cover the history of Venice from the times of the Roman Empire onward. There is a wide range of intriguing exhibits, including coins, doges’ ceremonial outfits and musical instruments and the display of maps, weaponry, ship models and navigational instruments allow you to learn about how Venice became such a powerful maritime force.

As you trace interesting Venetian history, don’t forget to take a closer look at specially selected art pieces by celebrated artists including Pieta by Giovanni Bellini, Two Ladies of Venice by Carpaccio (it remains unclear whether they belong to “the friends of the night society” or to a patrician family) and St. Justine by Tintoretto.
