About
Museo Correr is situated in the ex-Royal Palace in Piazza San Marco and includes the Napoleonic Wing and the Procuratie Nuove. It was created out of the art collection which Teodoro Correr left to the city in 1830 and offers various tours: from the neoclassical rooms, with sculptures by Antonio Canova, to historical collections on the city’s institutions, urban history and daily life. The picture gallery, one of the most fascinating collections of Venetian painting from its origins to the early 16th century, includes works by Lorenzo Veneziano, the Bellini family, Carpaccio, Cosmè Tura, Antonello da Messina and Lorenzo Lotto, displayed in an interesting layout by Carlo Scarpa.

The area
Address
Neighborhood: San Marco
The most famous sestiere (district) in Venice has one of the world's most famous squares, St. Mark's (Piazza San Marco). Anchored on one end by the basilica, clustered around it are restaurants, museums, shops, orchestras playing in the square, pigeons, the grand pink Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale), the soaring campanile bell tower, an astrological clock tower, plus gorgeous cafes and restaurants like Florian and Quadri. Piazza San Marco is beloved by Venetians themselves. They book a table anytime, which offers a buffer from the fray. This grand outdoor drawing room attracts Venetians for a stroll too, especially late in the afternoon when the hoards of daytrippers thin out. It's simply a grand place to meet.

- Christiana17 contributionsInteresting with a view of Piazza S. MarcoI saw the imperial rooms with a guided view (reservations required). Very knowledgeable guide and interesting and not boring explanation. Rooms recently restored with extreme attention to detail. From the windows you can enjoy a spectacular view of St. Mark's Square and from the other of the royal gardens.Visited March 2024Traveled soloWritten March 12, 2024
- Anastasios KThessaloniki, Greece93 contributionsA museum you have to go to because you paid for itThe entrance of the museum is directly opposite the church of Agios Markos. It is at the end of the square. The ticket is €30 in the package with the 4 museums. This building also contains 2 museums (the archaeological and the library). Nice museum with paintings, statues, weapons, models of ships but also some rooms of the Venetian aristocracy.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 17, 2024
- jakofuteAuvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France1,457 contributionsSUCCESSFUL RENOVATIONThe south wing of St. Mark's Square, closed during our previous visits to Venice, has been completely restored and now offers a very pleasant 2-hour visit with multi-lingual written explanations available to visitors. Worth the visit. Please note: ticket combined with visit to the Doge's Palace to be done on the same day. I didn't really appreciate the visit to this sad and immense palace...Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 8, 2024

She took us all around the museum to places we would not have been able to go if we didn’t have the tour. The tour was included in the ticket price. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Venetian history. We also really liked the cafe. We had tea and cookies.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 30, 2024
- phat_dawg_21Alpharetta, Georgia17,360 contributionsBeautiful Rooms and ArtThe itinerary takes you through the rooms that were once part of the Royal Palace and the building itself is an attraction. Many of the rooms are decorated and furnished as they would have been during the Hapsburg period, while some still contain elements from the Napoleonic era. The apartment once occupied by the Empress “Sissi” and her husband, Franz Joesph are especially interesting. There is a large collection of art including paintings and sculpture. And no palace would be complete without an armory, and this museum has large one. The Marco Polo exhibit is well worth the supplemental price.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 24, 2024
- AnitaScunthorpe, United Kingdom1,555 contributionsInterestingThis is actually 3 museums and the €30 ticket price includes the Doges Palace. The 3 in 1 museums are Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale. They a run into one and the amount of information about the items displayed varies massively from nothing at all to very good. Worth a visit with the multi museum ticket.Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 22, 2024
- R. AGeneva, Switzerland59 contributionsAn exciting museum facing the Doge's PalaceLocated in St. Mark’s Square, opposite the Basilica and Palazzo Ducale, this museum is dedicated to the life and art of Venice between the beginning of the Renaissance and the end of the 18th century. The places are imposing and the museum is very provided. It takes two hours to visit everything, knowing that the floor is dedicated to the collection of paintings.Visited October 2024Traveled soloWritten October 27, 2024

Rather confusingly this museum is connected to - and leads to - two other museums / galleries, the Museo Archaeologico Nazionale and the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. A single ticket covers all three, as well as admission to the entirely separate Doge’s Palace.
Museo Correr mainly presents the history of the palace under Imperial Habsburg control, in the 19th century, with a wide range of furniture, architecture, artworks and sculpture on show. Yet I personally found this notably unengaging, and was much more intrigued by the museums that you reached after this one.
However I did greatly enjoy the 2019-2020 exhibition about the life of 17th century doge Francesco Morosini. I knew nothing of his life going in, and was impressed by the range of artefacts on display. A particular highlight for me was the recreation of his personal library, including books containing handwritten Morosini family genealogies. But this was a rare highlight in an otherwise disappointing museum.
On plus there is a good shop at the entrance to Museo Correr. There is also an excellent huge cafe before you get to the ticket counter with amazingly ornate ceilings and other fabulous interior decor. But apart from this I wouldn’t visit again, except as a way to reach the more interesting museums beyond.
Oh and if you are a disabled visitor note that there is a lift avoiding the many steep stairs up to the museum on the first floor. But the lift may be out of order when you visit, as it was for me, admittedly due to aqua alta.

The Correr museum is included in your ticket for the doge's Palace and, if you are into art and history, it is well worth visiting. The arrangement of the rooms did not match our guidebook, so I suspect guests are being rerouted due to covid. The whole arrangement is far more light and airy compared to the rather stuffy Doge's palace and it was a welcome relief to stroll through the grandiose, but human, state rooms. There is also a vast array of other treasures, including paintings, antiquities, a library and decorative items. Nice cafe and free left luggage room. Expect to spend a couple of hours, as it is quite large.

The museum is on a single track to keep people flowing through. A handful of signs have been translated into English, but not many. Fairly typical collection, with Egyptian and Greco-Roman antiquities and early modern paintings and ceramics. The royal apartments at the end were the most interesting rooms.
Every staff member, including the security guard, ticket seller, ticket taker, gallery and shop attendants, made sure to ignore me for at least a couple minutes before doing their job or letting me past. The ticket taker watched me stand there while socially conversing with the ticket seller, letting me wait several minutes, then well after I'd finally passed her screaming at me to come back because she'd forgotten to scan the ticket she'd just seen me purchase. (Was never asked for it again - terrific use of paper.) In one gallery three or four attendants were having a social conversation in the middle of the path so it was awkward to try to walk around them and they never acknowledged any of the guests trying to do so. In the shop the attendant slipped away when I approached the counter so I decided not to buy anything after all.
This was the only museum in Venice where every single one of the staff made a point of being rude and inconveniencing guests. No other museum had even one rude staffer. For a thirty Euro entry fee, they should be able to afford basic customer service training. If there's not something very specific here you're dying to see, I'd recommend Rezzonico or Fortuny over Correr in a heartbeat.

Because it was included with the price of the Doge's Palace admission, we decided to pay this museum a visit. The entrance sits in the corner of San Marco Square opposite the Doge's Palace, but the museum (which is much bigger than we realized) seems to traverse much of the second level of the buildings (previously royal apartments, I believe) all along the square. (You get different perspectives/views of the campanile from several rooms/windows.) There is a lot of great art and historical artifacts (weaponry, etc.) It was really an unexpected bonus.
** BONUS TIP: We ate lunch at the little café near the entrance, with stunning views out onto the square. The prices were actually quite reasonable. **

The building faces the very busy Piazza San Marco but is at the quieter corner. A visit to this museum is highly worthwhile, giving the visitor some insight into Venetian art and history.
Aside from the expected opulent imperial rooms, the Canova rooms appealed to me most. They featured the distinctive sculptures of the Venetian Antonio Canova. I wasn't very familiar with this particular sculptor and was glad to learn about him and his works.
Try to squeeze this museum into your schedule.

It was raining so we decided to spend some time in the two museums around the Piazza. They were both once imperial palaces so the rooms were amazing. There was an exhibit about the revolution of printing which was cool, but I really liked the large architectural models from the mid 1700's. They were created to give craftsman a better understanding of the building they were building. Very similar to what we do today, except with computer models. Also loved the original wood cut print master for a famous map of the city.

Similar to the Vatican in terms of the ceilings, the art and statues throughout - very pretty to look at.
Got lost a few times as the exit signs aren’t very clear.
Not very many toilets so there’s usually a queue for each one

Normally included in the combined ticket with Palazzo dei Dogi it's often overlooked, but it's worth a visit as it's stunning. Personnel are state employee don't expect multilingual explanations but the notes in each room are more than enough. Nice cafe as well.

As it was a rainy morning, we decided to give The Correr a look and we were glad we did. We had tickets included from our visit to The Doge's Palace the previous day.
This Correr is actually a combination of three musuems which flow from room to room all housed in a beautiful building, it is much larger than we expected, lots of art, coins sculptures, armoury etc.
The Imperial rooms are beautiful and are a welcome sight after all the artifacts and history, toilets are located well into the building after at least 16 rooms I think.
Nice cafe there also, nice to take a little break after all the walking around the various rooms, The Correr is definitely worth a look if you have a few days in Venice.

My wife and I visit this wonderful museum from time to time during our regular visits to Venice. As pensioners we get a discount but even at full price it is good value for money. The museum is well arranged and the exhibits are imaginatively presented. However many times we visit there is always something new (to us) to discover. Well worth a visit .

Hi Judith,
I see you were there just 2 days ago. We are arriving on Sunday and are planning several "indoor" options because of the forecast. Did you were puddle boots? Do we need Northeast Winter clothes? How would you rate this museum if you only had 2 full days in Venice?
Thank you in advance for your time
Written February 27, 2018
So I was there in December, the museum is above average for museums (I go to a lot of museums), lots of statues and art. Once inside, you won't need your winter clothes, With two day in Venice, I would definitely go to this one! Hope you enjoy it!

Se la visita avviene in una giornata di pioggia, vento o acqua alta si può indugiare anche di più poiché c'è all'interno anche un ottimo bar...

Do you know if the reduced ticket price for seniors over 65 applies only to Italians? I'm thinking since it says citizens, that's the case. Just wondered.
Thanks for your help.

puh, the ticket-situation in Venice is a bit obscure. There are so many proprietors......... The town-owned collections have a one-for-all-ticket. The church doesn't reduce, but there is a ticket for for some of them I can't suggest.. The Italian state has recently abolished all reductions for seniors. Sometimes on sundays entrance is free. Stay in good mood falling into this surprise-party!
