The Museum’s Antique Collection

The collection contains: sculptures and paintings, including works by Luca Giordano e Federico Cervelli, drawings from the school of Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Jacopo Tintoretto, Ludovico Carracci, and Marco Ricci; Flemish wall hangings (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries); tapestries, drapes, trimmings, ropes, curtain tiebacks (eighteenth century); a coin collection with Greek, Roman and Venetian coins, as well as modern Italian and foreign coins and medals, including the dogaressa Elisabetta Querini Valier osella, or coin. Some members of the Querini family were Superintendents of the Artilleries and the Arsenal. To them we owe the collection of artillery models (seventeenth and eighteenth century).
