The museum was created on the basis of the Venice Academy of Fine Arts on the initiative of the brilliant artist Giovanni Piazzetta with the goal of erecting Venice as the leading cultural center of Italy. Well, perhaps, everything went well for him: today the Academy Gallery has a huge collection of works by world-famous masters, and Venice really is a European center of art.

At the Peggy Museum Guggenheim you can finally get a little distracted from the Renaissance craving for ideals and plunge into the abstract world of cubism and surrealism. In this museum there are paintings by Dali, Picasso, Kandinsky and other masters, whose works are in the collection of the famous patron of art Guggenheim - the greatest collector of works of art. By the way, the Museum of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine icons and the Museum of Glass has an equally impressive effect.
In addition to the museums dedicated to fine arts, in Venice, as every large city supposedly has, there are also historical museums, in particular, the Natural History Museum and the History Museum navy. It's important to understand that even such notorious cradles of art live their ordinary human life.
