The Correr Museum offers several fascinating itineraries to discover the Art and History of Venice: the first unfolds along the Napoleonic Wing, a 19th-century residence of kings and emperors, in the sumptuous Neoclassical Halls that house a remarkable collection of works by the era’s greatest sculptor, Antonio Canova (1757-1822).
From there, you enter the Procuratie Nuove, designed by the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552-1616), where the highest magistracies of the Serenissima resided.
Here, in the spacious rooms, various aspects of Venetian civilization are illustrated, from daily life to institutions, maritime enterprises to city festivals; the exhibition of ancient art collections also begins here, which then has ample space on the second floor, hosting the splendid picture gallery that gathers important masterpieces of Venetian art from its origins to the 16th century.
