Venice’s famous Academy of Fine Art Museum is housed in an historic architectural complex which includes the Church of Santa Maria della Carita, her monastery and the original Scuola Grande (Grand School), all of which are deserving of a visit just to admire the architecture.

Inside, the galleries are home to an exceptional collection of art which is showcased in 37 rooms.

The collection spans several centuries and periods and includes many masterpieces from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Here you can stand in awe before The Tempest (Giorgione), The Pieta (Titian) and The Feast in the House of Levi (Veronese), to name but a few. Art enthusiasts can book private guided tours of the Academy for a more in-depth experience.
