A journey through the collections

Venice, seen across time

Compare paintings, prints and historical photographs depicting Venice, its canals, palaces and public spaces.

Return to Venice through different artists, media and moments. A painted ceremony, a passage beneath a house and a photographic view each preserve a different encounter with the city. These pins refer to the place depicted; the works need not have been made there.
