What was for centuries the Querini Stampalia family residence is now a house museum. It is one of the most charming house museums in Europe, recreating the style and authentic atmospheres – both private and sumptuous – of a Venetian palace between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, whilst also depicting the everyday life of the palace. It contains art collections and furnishings belonging to one of the most illustrious and long-standing families in Venice: furniture, paintings, Murano glass chandeliers, globes, clocks, musical instruments, porcelain, sculptures, tapestries. Jacopo Guarana frescoed the ceilings in 1790 for the wedding of Alvise Querini and Maria Teresa Lippomano. It is considered one of the painter’s largest and most important cycles
