    Worth the price of admission demonstration. The artist made 3 items: a plate, a sculpture and a balloon. The benches were comfy and I appreciated the voice over about the history of the location.

    Unfortunately, it started raining when we arrived, and continued throughout our visit. But we were still able to get a sense of the beauty of the place. Too bad the bright colors do not come out in the photographs.

    It was much less crowded than Venice. We can’t wait to visit again.

    This church has it all: A beautiful glass cross, an amazing glass lighted baptismal fount, a beautifully inlaid floor, a Byzantine mosaic dome over the main altar, two interesting side chapels, and a saint under glass.

    We received a complementary transfer and visit to Murano from our hotel and were very happy we had the opportunity to see this shop and factory. At first we were a bit disappointed as the workshop was not busy but our host explained that it was holiday time and we still got to see some of the action. Whilst we were not in the market to buy anything and only purchased something small in the gift shop, we have some regret we did not purchase something else. They have beautiful items and all are works of art in their own right. Not cheap, but you will have something unique made with lots of love and care. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    This Glass furnace (Foundry) allowed us to see the process and gave us a beautiful tour. Then you're allowed to see some of the other pieces and jewelry of course!

    This facility was part of our Venice Tour and we very much enjoyed the brief 10-15 minute demonstration and explanation of the glass blowing process. It is very impressive how the artists can create a delicate piece in such a short amount of time.

    After the demonstration, you are routed to one of their showrooms for another demonstration of the finished products and given the chance to purchase some specialty items at a discounted price.

    While the items that are given the specialty discount are indeed amazing pieces, once you agree to purchase something, the shipping cost to the US and the delay in getting them isn't worth it. You can find many of the non chandelier type items throughout Venice.

    An interesting tour of glass making throughout history around Venice. Mainly focuses on showcasing the result of different techniques and art styles at different points in history, as techniques were developed and styles came in and out of fashion. The audio guide is very detailed, but a lot of the information is provided around the rooms anyway. Sadly some sections were closed when I was there.

    However, if you are more interested in watching glass-making and seeing the best of what Murano currently has to offer, I'd recommend visiting workshops and galleries around the island.

    The facade of this Renaissance church is entirely brick. The glass chandeliers inside the church are beautiful and a bit unusual. But it is not so surprising, because the church is located on an island full of glass factories. You can see here paintings by Paolo Veronese or Giovanni Bellini, among others.

    Substantial part of venitian art and always present on the riva of murano.
    You should have a look - it wan t take you more than 20 minutes.
    Just enjoy a bit of difference... and then reach out for a nice lunch in either of the places at acquastanca, busa alla torre or on the terrace of ai frati

    Looking at the Murano Clock Tower, you can experience the deja vu effect. Indeed, it resembles the Palazzo Vecchio tower in Florence. However, they were
