What can you do when you’re on vacation and it rains uninterruptedly throughout the day? Needless to wait for it to stop and help organize a trip out of … out of Cavallino.
If you decide to spend the day inside a museum in Venice, Brunella recommends you:
- Gallerie dell’Accademia, one of the most important Italian museums, a key step in the history of art from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century
- Galleria Franchetti Ca ‘d’Oro, the collection of Baron Franchetti (sculptures, bronzes and paintings) in one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Venice
- Palazzo Ducale, Correr Museum, Clock Tower and Museum of Natural History: http://www.visitmuve.it/en/home/
- Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the famous house-museum of American patron
- Centre of Contemporary Art at the Punta della Dogana, Francois Pinault Collection: http://www.palazzograssi.it/
- Naval History Museum, a collection of relics of the Venetian Republic and the Italian Navy (scale models and historical memories of the Arsenale of Venice)
