The Palazzo Grimani spans 2,000 square meters at the intersection of San Severo and Santa Maria Formosa canals, featuring decorated rooms and classical architecture.

Antonio Grimani purchased the medieval building in 1523, and his grandsons Vettore and Giovanni transformed it with classical architectural elements during the 16th century.

The museum displays a collection of ancient sculptures, marbles, and vases, including works from artists Federico Zuccari and Francesco Salviati within its decorated chambers.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:30, with admission rates of 14 euros for adults and free entry for visitors under 18.
