Art museums

The monumental Palazzo Rezzonico, designed by Longhena and Massari, contains this museum which offers insight into a whole age. Alongside precious furnishings and decorations, it hosts major paintings by Venetian artists of the 18th century, such as Giandomenico and GiambattistaTiepolo, Rosalba Carriera, Canaletto and the Longhi and Guardi families. Important donations have recently enriched the museums collections with another 300 works by such artists as Cima da Conegliano, Alvise Vivarini, Bonifacio de' Pitati, Tintoretto, Sebastiano and Marco Ricci, and more works by the Tiepolo and Longhi families, Rosalba and Francesco Guardi. The visit extends over four floors, and the visitor can also rest or take refreshment in the large reception area, the caf or the charming garden.
