Galleria dell'Accademia Venice

The Galleria dell’Accademia is one of the world’s greatest museums - beautiful both inside and out. Set in the Dorsoduro sestiere (district) of Venice, you approach the museum via the huge wooden arch of the Ponte dell’Accademia, built by the Austrians to move their soldiers swiftly about the city. From the top of the bridge you have a marvellous view of the Grand Canal, gazing down upon the church of Santa Maria della Salute, the Bacino di San Marco and the Punta della Dogana.

With twenty-four rooms in all, filled with a large mix of art, there is something for everyone.
