📖

Full description

Housed on the island of Murano, this museum follows the history and craft of Venetian glassmaking from the 15th century to the present. The rooms are laid out with detailed descriptions and a wide range of glass pieces, and reviewers single out the bead collection in rooms 5 and 10.

A small garden adds a pause between galleries, and the complimentary showroom visit left some guests more impressed than they expected. About an hour suffices, and it fits naturally into a day trip around the island's furnaces and shops.

Reviews

If you love glass, and to be honest why are you on Murano if you don’t love glass? Then this museum is a must. It is well laid out with detailed description with some stunning examples of glass work through the ages. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend going if you are in the island
