Accademia Gallery Tickets, Venice

Visit the museum that began as Venice’s school of painting, sculpture, and architecture, founded in 1750 by the Venetian Senate and moved to its current home inside the Scuola della Carità, one of the first to study art restoration, in 1807. The focus of the collection is artwork by Venetian painters through the 18th century such as Titian, Tintoretto, Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Veronese and Tiepolo.

A Renaissance church and a monastery built by the celebrated architect, Andrea Palladio, are also enclosed within the Galleria dell’Accademia. In the early 19th century, this complex was used to store the artistic heritage of Venice after the suppression of its monasteries, churches and guilds under Napoleonic and Austrian rule. It opened as a public museum in 1866. The museum’s collection spans five centuries, and covers the Medieval, Byzantine, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
