Full description
Museo Provinciale di Torcello spreads across two historic buildings on the quiet island of Torcello, presenting archaeological finds and medieval objects connected to the island itself. Visitors note many small pieces with detailed introductions, and describe it as more engaging than larger archaeological collections in Venice.
A combined ticket covers the church and bell tower as well, making it easy to see Torcello's main sights in one go. Expect around 45 minutes inside; the museum is closed on Mondays.

Not as one fifth big as the archaeological museum of Venice but far more interesting. Many small pieces from the island with detailed introduction. Combined ticket for the church, the bell tower and the two small museums at a very reasonable price.
