About Gallerie dell'Accademia

Giorgione's The Tempest and Veronese's Feast in the House of Levi show how Venetian painting can swing between mystery and abundance. The Gallerie dell'Accademia give context to the art you find scattered across the city's churches and palaces.

Choose a few works to look at slowly, including Titian's Pietà, depending on what's on display. Rushing through everything at boarding-gate speed leaves you with nothing but tiredness. At Campo della Carità, near the Accademia bridge, the museum pairs well with Dorsoduro.
