This museum, located on the Grand Canal, displays masterpieces by some of the <\/strong>most celebrated artists of the 20th century, such as Picasso, Braque, Duchamp, Magritte, Kandinsky, Mir\u00f3, Dali, Ernst, and de Chirico.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is one of the three most famous Guggenheim museums in the world, along with that of New York and Bilbao. This one has the unique distinction of being housed in what used to be Peggy Guggenheim<\/strong>‘s Venetian home: in addition to the paintings, you will be able to admire her good taste in furniture because all the furniture is the original one she chose.<\/p>\n

The manual arts: the Murano Glass Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A technique that is unique in the world<\/strong> born on this small island in the Venice Lagoon and handed down through the centuries to the present day. The museum, which celebrates the art and history of glassmaking, showcases works ranging from remnants of Roman origin, dating back to the era between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, to contemporary achievements.<\/p>\n

In the lagoon with children: the Natural History Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Quali

\u00a9 Museum of Natural History Venice<\/p><\/div>\n

How big is a whale? How does underwater life reproduce? Venice’s Museum of Natural History<\/strong> will answer this and many other questions: it has a collection of over 2 million pieces and a strong teaching vocation.<\/p>\n

We recommend you to visit it, especially if you travel with children<\/strong>. They will be absolutely amazed by the original skeletons of the blue whale and sperm whale in the Cetacean Gallery. What’s more, they will learn while having fun in the Tegn\u00f9e Aquarium: a 5-meter tank designed specifically to explain how life works underwater to young and old alike. Don’t miss it\uff01<\/p>\n
