Museo della Musica di Venezia

Very sad to experience such an anti-musician service. Was in Venice for a few hours while waiting for my flight so I wasn’t staying in a hotel or somewhere where I could leave my luggage. Had my violin in a flight case inside my luggage; wasn’t allowed into the museum because of it. It was either leave the luggage unattended right next to the exit where anyone could grab it, or leave the museum. No attempt from staff to try and understand how that’s not even a choice. No locker room or anything. Recommend the violin museum in Cremona instead; much better service to accommodate musicians/people with luggage. P.s. it was just a small easyJet cabin bag, nothing bulky.

Beautiful church and amazing exposition, loved the historical Instruments expo in such an adequate location. There's so much to learn about the making and history of such craftsmanship. I found out there are so many different variations of well know Instruments. Plus its free and in the center of the city.

Lovely little mesuem to learn about string instruments and their making - Especially worthwhile as the admission is free.

One of historical museum in Italy. Free entrance. Many strings instrument displayed.

Really interesting details about the music history, especially about Vivaldi. And the instruments in display are astonishing.

Great little museum. It has beautifully displayed instruments (which are money), it presents in a very interesting manner tumultous life of Antonio Vivaldi, and unlike many musuems in Venice, it actually wants to tell a story. Plus - the staff is very polite. The admission to the museum is free. Also you can visit the museum for theviolin concerts, which are held on a regular basis.

Excellent place to see baroque musical instruments. Entrance is free. Church is immaculately maintained. Some instruments were centuries old but extremely well preserved.

The church San Maurizio now houses the Museo della Musica, museum of baroque instruments, composers, and music of Venice. The story of the golden age of making string instruments in 18th century Venice and its studios or “schools” of Italian making of musical instruments, the differences in design and construction, the way they were made and the evolution of musical style. With this beautiful building, Venice has been given a valuable space in an interesting place to show off its artistic musical splendor. This church of San Maurizio was built in a Neoclassical-style, and Family Candian (known as Sanudo) is responsible for the construction of the church of San Maurizio and Lazzaro. Deconsecrated church is located in the campo San Maurizio in the sestiere of San Marco. Her history is as interesting as everything in Venice. In the middle of the 15th century, the ancient bell tower was demolished to allow the construction of the grand Palazzo Bellavite, whose façade was painted as a fresco by Paolo Veronese. Dionisio Bellavite, a wealthy merchant, actually received a concession for the area and permission to remove the bell tower in exchange for paying an annual tax in favor of the church of San Maurizio, a tax that Bellavite continued to pay until 1564. In 1806 the church was partly demolished and then rebuilt according to the design of Antonio Dieda and the architect of La Fenice, Gian Antonio Selva. The Museo della Musica is an exhibit dedicated to one of the artistic expressions that has contributed to the greatness of Italian culture, the making of stringed instruments. It features period instruments, and documents, including exhibits on Antonio Vivaldi, but also documents on Amati, Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, and Francesco and Matteo Goffriller. Valuable exhibits are Bass by Niccolò Amati and Bass by Carlo Bergonzi and many more.
