Eremitani Civic Museums
Musei Civici agli Eremitani
Civic museums housed in a former monastery, with archaeology and art galleries, including Giotto's Crucifix.
Admission is included in the Scrovegni Chapel ticket. The archaeology section displays Roman and pre-Roman Veneto artefacts. The art section houses Giotto's panel Crucifix, painted for the Scrovegni Chapel, along with works by Bellini, Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto from the Venetian school, as well as plaster casts of sculptures by Canova. It makes a good place to pass time before your chapel visit.
