A house that became a museum but remains at heart a home.

One of the most significant and well-preseved examples of an historic house museum in all Europe, the magnificent residence of the Querini Stampalia family is recreated on the second floor.

Original furnishings, paintings, frescoes and objects foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere that tell of the family's life and ties and of the city's spirit.

Not to miss during your visit: the masterpiece, The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, by Giovanni Bellini and the scenes of Venetian life by Pietro Longhi and Gabriel Bella. 

While preserving the past's milieu, the museum itinerary mixes ancient art with contemporary works.

On the third floor, the visit continues with pieces from the Intesa Sanpaolo Collection: in particular, two paintings by Canaletto, the large sketch of Paradise by Domenico Tintoretto and the one of The Last Judgment by Giambattista Tiepolo, as well as works by great masters of the Venetian school through Ippolito Caffi and Guglielmo Ciardi. Sculptures include works by Arturo Martini and Alberto Viani.
