 Front of the Accedemia by fishandchips
It is considered one of Europe's great museums. Painting range through the years from the 13th to the 18th centuries and is the largest collection in the world of Venetian painters.
Famous names such as Lorenzo Veneziano, Tintoretto and Titian have works displayed here.
It costs €6.50 (in 2003) to get in and is open Tuesday to Sunday 8:15am-7:15pm and Monday 8:15am-2pm. You can walk from St Marks Square taking the street in the far left hand corner of the square with your back facing St Marks and eventually over the Accedemia bridge. Leave a Comment

This is actually an old library, right in Piazza San Marco. At the time of my visit I caught a nice exhibit about the gold looted by Napoleon, which was eventually returned. I have a fond memory of a kind gentleman who explained the ceiling paintings to me and showed us around. Leave a Comment

Venice itself is a living breathing museum. You don't have to go inside anything to be surrounded by art. Venice is art.
Here are a few photos of outdoors art I took during my last visit. I could easily put up a photo of every church, bridge, or building I saw too. I didn't take any murano beads photos, too bad.
I miss feeling like I stepped back in time. Leave a Comment

 The grand golden staircase to
the Doge's quarters by puerto_lover, 4 more photos
There is sometimes a long queue to obtain entry ticket here. One tip to avoid this wait is to start the tour of museums in St Marks Square at the 'other end'. The side opposite to the Basilica on the west is home to Museum Correr. If you stand in the middle of the square with your back to the Basilica , in front of you is the museum building with a central staircase leading you to the first floor where you can buy your ticket for all the museums in the area. This ticket allows you to walk into the Doges Palace using the pre reserved queue. Cost (July 2009) for the INTERO SAN MARCO PLUS ticket : €13 (discounts available so study prices)
The Museum Correr has some fine exhibits and you should try to spend time here. Different rooms display a rich variety of works including a Canova sculpture Daedalus & Icarus.
The Museum Pass ticket you buy is actually valid for 3 months so if you don't have the energy to take in all museums on your first day, then save it for another day ! Leave a Comment

In this wonderful little Museum, in Campo de Carita, just crossing the Accademia Bridge, you will find wonderful masterpieces of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. Don't miss Tintoretto's Transport of the Body of St. Mark, which shows St. Mark's body being stolen from Alexandria (the camel in the painting is just incredible). Leave a Comment

With the Venice card, access to Doges Palace, Correr Museo, with archelogical, and art museos, and a number of others are included. Price on line was 22 Euro, and Doges alone was 11 Euro, and Correr was about 8 Euro. Besides these great sites, there were four palalces that are converted to museums that are super tours. Ca Pescro, Ca, Mocenigo, and Ca' Rezzinico are to be seen.
