Il Museo Correr offers several exciting itineraries to discover the Art and History of Venice: the first winds through the Napoleonic Wing, a 19th-century residence of kings and emperors, in the sumptuous Neoclassical Rooms that house a remarkable collection of works by the leading sculptor of the era, Antonio Canova (1757-1822).
From there, you move to the Procuratie Nuove, designed by the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552-1616), where the main magistracies of the Serenissima resided.
Here, in the large rooms, various aspects of Venetian Civilization are illustrated, from daily life to that of institutions, from maritime enterprises to city festivals; the exhibition of ancient art collections also begins here, which then find ample space on the second floor, where the splendid painting gallery is hosted, collecting important masterpieces of Venetian art from its origins to the sixteenth century.
