Gallerie dell'Accademia

The Gallerie dell'Accademia exhibits over 800 paintings from Venetian artists, spanning from the 14th to the 18th centuries in chronological arrangement.

Founded in 1817, the museum started as a collection space for Giovanni Bellini's works and expanded to include masterpieces from Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto.

The collection demonstrates the evolution of Venetian painting techniques through religious scenes, portraits, and landscapes that defined the Renaissance period.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8:15 to 19:15, with reduced hours on Monday until 14:00, offering wheelchair access throughout the premises.

Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man drawing resides in this museum, although it remains in storage most of the year for preservation purposes.
