iBorn of Teodoro Correr's 1830 bequest of art and documents on Venetian history, the museum has occupied the Procuratie Nuove and Napoleonic Wing on Piazza San Marco since 1922. Its route runs through Neoclassical rooms built for Napoleon's court, with a notable Antonio Canova collection, into twenty rooms on the life, coinage, navy and festivals of the Venetian Republic. The upstairs Picture Gallery traces Venetian painting from Paolo Veneziano to Giovanni Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio and Antonello da Messina. Admission is via the St Mark's Square Museums ticket, which also covers the Doge's Palace, the National Archaeological Museum and the monumental rooms of the Biblioteca Marciana.

Bizhan Bassiri's recent and emblematic works in the Sala delle Quattro Porte, with ninety images of artists from the 15th to 21st centuries in a suspended, stepped display.

Julian Charrière's works in dialogue with Canova's marbles in the Canova Galleries, on stone, geological memory and deep time.

Sumptuous Neoclassical rooms of the Napoleonic Wing, home to a noteworthy collection of sculptures by Antonio Canova, including Daedalus and Icarus.

Venetian painting from its earliest days to the 16th century, with works by the Bellini family, Vittore Carpaccio and their contemporaries.

Rooms on the history of the Venetian Republic, from daily life and public institutions to naval achievements and local festivities.
