The museum opened on 9 May 2009, the 500th anniversary of Giorgione's death, to evoke the culture of his era. Its centrepiece is the Fregio delle arti liberali e meccaniche, one of the earliest works attributed to him. A 17th-century report calling the house his birthplace was never confirmed; it more likely belonged to the Pellizzari family, where he worked in his youth.
