Question 2

What to expect During this tour?

Accepted Answer

The National Museum of Palazzo Venezia is housed in what once was the grand residence of the Venetian Pope Paul II Barbo (1464-1471), great collector and initiator of the artistic future of the building. The museum was opened in 1921, polarizing its interest around the so-called applied arts. It houses collections of paintings on wood and canvas dating back to the 15th-18th centuries; eighteenth-century pastels, as well as miniatures and fans; a rich series of Italian and German wooden sculptures; a valuable collection of sketches and terracotta reliefs from the 16th and 17th centuries; early Medieval and Renaissance marbles; seal plates, enamels, religious items made of gold and silverware for profane use, glass, ivory and Renaissance bronzes of the Italian school; a vast collection of pottery and porcelain. There is also a large collection of chests and furniture in general, of wrought iron, as well as a remarkable collection of antique weapons and armour.
