THE CORRER MUSEUM
FIRST FLOOR.
The itinerary begins with the Neo-classical Rooms
of the Royal Palace, which constitute a splendid
background for the collection of statues and bas-reliefs
by Antonio Canova; then the Historic Collections,
which reevoke, through suggestions and significant
events, the great themes of the institutional history of
Venice in the centuries of its greatness and political
independence; commerce, navigation, political and
military strength. A collection of maps and Mews
illustrates the urbanistic evolution of the City.
Following is the collection of Small Renaissance
Bronzes from the Paduan and Venetian schools of
the XVth and XVIth centuries (works by Riccio, N.
Roccatagliata, G. Campagna, T. Aspetti) and the section
dedicated to Arts and Crafts
and to Games, both popular and noble, at
the time of the Serenissima.
SECOND FLOOR.
The Picture Gallery, one of the richest
and most suggestive of Venetian painting from its origins
to the early XVIth century, with masterpieces by
Antonello da Messina, Carpaccio, the Bellini family,
Cosmè Tura, Lotto. The arrangement of the exposition is
by Carlo Scarpa (I960); the Ivory Collection,
exquisite realisations from late-Roman, Gothic and
Renaissance times; the collection of Venetian and
Center-Italian Majolica of the XVth and XVIth
centuries, including the famous Correr dinner-service; the
Museum of the Risorgimento, with paintings,
objects and documents pertinent to the events in the City
from the end of the Republic through the French and
Austrian domination, through the annexation to the
Kingdom of Italy. Contiguous to the exhibition rooms is the
Museum Library, specialised in Art and History,
and the Cabinet of Prints and Drawings
with graphic material of the highest level.
