Ca' Rezzonico
Ca' Rezzonico – Museo del Settecento Veneziano
A Baroque palace on the Grand Canal that vividly captures aristocratic life in 18th-century Venice, with ceiling paintings by the Tiepolos.
Ca' Rezzonico was designed by Longhena and completed by Massari. It houses the Museum of 18th-Century Venice, part of the city's civic museum system. The ballroom is dazzlingly gilded, and several rooms have ceiling paintings by the Tiepolos. The museum also displays genre scenes by Guardi, Longhi and Canaletto, Venetian lacquered furniture, and a reconstructed old pharmacy on the top floor. Admission is about €10 and is included in the civic museums pass. The museum is closed on Tuesdays. Get off at the Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop. It is about a 10-minute walk to the Accademia Gallery.
