Museum tracing the history of the Serenissima where you can visit the imperial rooms with the apartments of Sissi and the art gallery.
The history of the Serenissima is proudly illustrated in the largest municipal museum in the city, located in the Procuratie Nuovissime, in St. Mark's Square.
On thefirst floor, the visit begins with the imperial rooms; the decoration dates back to the Austrian period. Here you can visit the apartments that Sissi, the Empress of Austria, occupied during her stays in Venice. Some beautiful Empire style furniture and Murano chandeliers still bear witness to this past. A last room on the first floor is dedicated to the sculptures of Antonio Canova. About twenty rooms are then dedicated to the institutions and the different aspects of daily life under the Republic. All kinds of documents related to the doges and navigation are gathered here: models of ships, lanterns that adorned the bow of ships, globes, etc. Paintings, tapestries and board games complete this first part.
Thesecond floor is occupied by the art gallery. It brings together a selection of paintings signed by the greatest Venetian masters, from the origins to the 17th century. Among the works not to be missed are the works of Paolo Venezaiano. They combine Byzantine heritage and Gothic style. There is also an admirable Pietà by Cosmé Tura (15th century) and another by Antonello da Messina. Three Bellinis are also on display in room 36. In the following rooms, works by Lotto, Vivarini and Cima da Conegliano are appreciated. Finally, we end with one of Carpaccio's masterpieces, The Two Venetian Ladies.

Members' reviews on MUSEO CORRER
Petit plus, la vue sur la Basilique San Marco et sa place est très agréable depuis le café du musée !
Le musée lui même est riche, très riche mais c'est difficile de suivre le fil car on passe d’œuvres à des bateaux, pour revenir sur des œuvres, puis une bibliothèque, des monnaies, d'autres tableaux, de la vaisselles encore des tableaux... Bref on se perd un peu dans les repères.
Vous y accéder par un somptueux escalier.
Les pièces sont sublimes et la salle de bal grandiose.
Les statues, meubles, peintures de grands maîtres et lustres de Murano sont le témoignage du passé très riche de Venise.
Il est relié à la bibliothèque Marciana et au musée archéologique.
Il est permis de prendre des photographies sans flash cependant.
J'avais acheté un billet pour la somme de 20 euros qui m'a permis de visiter le Palais des Doges ainsi que ces trois musées.
Un régal pour les yeux!
