They are the central state collection of Venetian painting in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collection goes back to the Accademia di Pittura, Scultura ed Architettura founded in 1750. With the Napoleonic secularisation of 1807, the collections of Venice&#8217;s dissolved monasteries and churches were brought into the new complex \u2014 hence the unusually dense concentration of religious panel paintings from the 14th to the 16th century. The museum first opened to the public in 1817; it has been comprehensively modernised and extended in several phases since 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The building complex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Accademia consists of three historically connected buildings: the <strong>Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Carit\u00e0<\/strong> (founded 1260, one of Venice&#8217;s six great scuole), the adjoining <strong>church of Santa Maria della Carit\u00e0<\/strong> and the former <strong>Convento dei Canonici Lateranensi<\/strong> (remodelled by Andrea Palladio from 1561). All three parts were merged into one museum from 1810; the architectural heritage remains partly visible on the route \u2014 for instance in the former Sala dell&#8217;Albergo (room 24), for which Titian&#8217;s &#8220;Presentation of the Virgin&#8221; was created and where it can still be seen in the historical context of the Scuola Grande della Carit\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights of the collection \u2014 room by room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route follows a chronological order from the 14th into the 18th century. Room numbering can change during ongoing refurbishment \u2014 check the current hanging on site. The following works are the art-historical core pieces that belong in every visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room 1: gold-ground painting of the Trecento<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paolo Veneziano (&#8220;Pala feriale&#8221;, 1345), Lorenzo Veneziano, early Byzantine-Gothic panel painting. The gold grounds mark the state of the art before the leap into the Renaissance. If you want to understand Venetian painting, do not rush through here \u2014 the severity of this pre-Renaissance is the contrast against which Bellini and Giorgione later break free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rooms 2 + 3: Bellini, Carpaccio (transition phase)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giovanni Bellini is considered the artist who founded Venetian Renaissance painting \u2014 glazed oil technique, lyrical landscape backgrounds, soft flesh tones. Some of his best Sacre Conversazioni (&#8220;Madonna with saints&#8221;) hang here. In the adjoining rooms, Vittore Carpaccio with narrative painting cycles \u2014 his Saint Ursula cycle (see below) is one of the museum&#8217;s quiet highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rooms 4 + 5: Mantegna, Antonello da Messina, Giorgione<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three key paintings: Mantegna&#8217;s &#8220;Saint George&#8221; (c. 1460), Antonello da Messina&#8217;s &#8220;Madonna with saints&#8221; and \u2014 art-historically the most important picture in the entire collection \u2014 Giorgione&#8217;s &#8220;La Tempesta&#8221; (c. 1505). The painting is often interpreted as one of the earliest independent landscape paintings in Western art history; its enigmatic scene with a soldier, a nursing woman and an approaching storm has been debated iconographically for 500 years. In the same room, Giorgione&#8217;s &#8220;La Vecchia&#8221; \u2014 an unsparing portrait of old age with the inscribed scroll &#8220;COL TEMPO&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room 10: Veronese&#8217;s &#8220;Convito in Casa di Levi&#8221; (1573)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A giant painting more than 12 metres wide with one of the most famous scandals in art history: Veronese originally painted it as a &#8220;Last Supper&#8221; for the refectory of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. The Inquisition summoned him in 1573 \u2014 he had profaned the holy meal with drinkers, animals and exoticised supporting figures. Instead of repainting the picture, he renamed it &#8220;Convito in Casa di Levi&#8221; (Feast in the House of Levi) \u2014 the biblical subject permitted the cheerful scene. The transcript of the Inquisition hearing survives and is documented in the catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room 11: Tintoretto cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several large formats by Tintoretto in his typically dramatic lighting: &#8220;The Miracle of Saint Mark&#8221; (1548) is the central reference here \u2014 the work that made Tintoretto famous in Venice. If you only know the artist from the Doge&#8217;s Palace, here you see the painter of the breakthrough before the later maturity. (Room numbers can change \u2014 check the current hanging on site.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room 17: Titian \u2014 late works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important piece: Titian&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; (c. 1576), one of his last works, left unfinished and completed by Palma il Giovane. The painting is among the most striking late works of the Renaissance \u2014 the almost monochrome palette and the near-sketchy execution look astonishingly modern from today&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rooms 20\u201323: Bellini, Gentile + the Carpaccio cycles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large-format painting cycles for the Venetian scuole: Gentile Bellini&#8217;s &#8220;Procession in St Mark&#8217;s Square&#8221; (1496) and &#8220;Miracle of the Cross at the Rialto Bridge&#8221; \u2014 at the same time genre scenes of everyday Venice around 1500. Carpaccio&#8217;s <strong>Saint Ursula cycle<\/strong> (1490\u20131495, originally for the Scuola di Sant&#8217;Orsola): nine panels with the legend of the Breton princess Ursula, who went on pilgrimage to Rome with her companions and was killed in Cologne. Carpaccio&#8217;s clear stage-like architecture and calm narrative pace feel astonishingly modern \u2014 a world of its own within the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room 24: Sala dell&#8217;Albergo with Titian&#8217;s &#8220;Presentation of the Virgin&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The room is the former meeting room of the Scuola Grande della Carit\u00e0 and one of the rare rooms where a work hangs in its original location: Titian&#8217;s &#8220;Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple&#8221; (1534\u201338). The painting was made for exactly this wall; you can see the commission context with the door on the right, which the painter integrated into the composition. A rare example of site-specific Renaissance commission painting that has not been estranged by museum decontextualisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temporary exhibitions and special areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo&#8217;s &#8220;Vitruvian Man&#8221; belongs to the Accademia but is rarely shown for conservation reasons \u2014 typically a few weeks every few years as part of special exhibitions. Check the official site before your visit. Tiepolo works from the 18th century are in the final rooms and close the chronological route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tickets 2026: prices and options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current prices can vary by season and special exhibition \u2014 the following values are a guide (as of spring 2026) and should be <strong>checked on the official site gallerieaccademia.it before your visit<\/strong>. Important: the Accademia is a state gallery and is not included in the MUVE Museum Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"tv-decision-matrix\"><caption>Accademia tickets 2026 \u2014 guide values<\/caption><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Ticket<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Price (approx.)<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Note<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Standard ticket (adults)<\/td><td>approx. \u20ac15<\/td><td>Full route<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reduced ticket (EU citizens aged 18\u201325)<\/td><td>approx. \u20ac2<\/td><td>With ID<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Children\/teenagers under 18<\/td><td>free<\/td><td>Carry ID<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Audio guide<\/td><td>approx. \u20ac6 extra<\/td><td>multilingual incl.

Third parties such as GetYourGuide can be practical for free cancellation or bundled combination offers, but are often somewhat more expensive. For price-conscious travellers with a fixed date, the direct official route is usually the cheapest choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important notes:<\/strong> outside peak days no mandatory reservation is usually needed; in high season online pre-booking is recommended. On the first Sunday of the month the state &#8220;Domenica al Museo&#8221; scheme often makes entry free, but leads to much longer queues \u2014 if you want to see the collection in peace, visit on another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"tv-reisebuero-cta\"><h3>Book your Accademia ticket online<\/h3><p>In high season (June\u2013August, Carnival weeks, Easter) online pre-booking with a guaranteed time slot can significantly reduce the wait.

Warm in the rooms despite air conditioning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Winter (December \u2013 February, except Carnival):<\/strong> very quiet, often the best conditions to study the Saint Ursula cycle in peace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to the Accademia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The galleries are at Campo della Carit\u00e0 1050, Sestiere Dorsoduro, directly at the southern end of the wooden Accademia bridge (Ponte dell&#8217;Accademia). Coming from San Marco, cross the bridge and you are there \u2014 the entrance is on the left of the campo. From Santa Lucia station about 25 minutes on foot through Cannaregio, San Polo and over the Accademia bridge; to avoid the bridge climbs, take the vaporetto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"tv-decision-matrix\"><caption>Vaporetto stops for the Accademia<\/caption><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Line<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Stop<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Walk<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">Line 1<\/a> (slow Grand Canal line)<\/td><td>Accademia<\/td><td>2 min (right at the pier)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">Line 2<\/a> (express)<\/td><td>Accademia<\/td><td>2 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-5\/\">Lines 5.1, 5.2<\/a> (ring line)<\/td><td>Zattere<\/td><td>8 min northwards<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">Line 1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">line 2<\/a><\/td><td>San Samuele (opposite, Sestiere San Marco)<\/td><td>+ Accademia bridge + 4 min<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Marco Polo Airport:<\/strong> with Alilaguna (blue line) to San Marco \u2014 Vallaresso, then vaporetto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">line 1<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">line 2<\/a> towards Piazzale Roma to Accademia. By bus to Piazzale Roma + vaporetto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">line 1<\/a> towards San Marco to Accademia \u2014 roughly the same journey, but cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Accademia during acqua alta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of Dorsoduro lies higher than San Marco \u2014 during typical acqua alta events the Accademia usually remains easy to reach, and the main rooms are on the first floor. Nevertheless, during stronger acqua alta, routes through Dorsoduro, vaporetto access or the entrance area can be affected. Check current museum and transport information directly on the museum website or on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/acqua-alta-venice\/\">acqua alta page with live tide levels<\/a> before your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to bridge a high-water half day, a sensible combination is the Accademia (morning) and the Peggy Guggenheim (afternoon) \u2014 both in Dorsoduro, 3 minutes apart on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With children, and accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Accademia is harder for children than the Doge&#8217;s Palace \u2014 no narrative route with &#8220;thrill spots&#8221;, but a systematic painting collection. What works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carpaccio&#8217;s Saint Ursula cycle<\/strong> \u2014 a nine-panel story with a pilgrimage, a ship, a battle. Children from 8 enjoy following the narrative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Veronese&#8217;s &#8220;Convito in Casa di Levi&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 a giant format with many supporting figures and animals \u2014 lots to discover. The Inquisition story as background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> plan a maximum of 90 minutes, then a caf\u00e9 break or a switch to the Peggy Guggenheim \u2014 sculpture garden + modern art often works better for children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Audio guide:<\/strong> no special children&#8217;s version; the adult version can help older children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to current visitor information, the museum offers low-barrier access and lifts between floors. Individual historic rooms (above all the former monastery areas) can have thresholds or restrictions. Visitors with limited mobility should check the current accessibility information directly with the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combining the Accademia \u2014 what fits into one day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Accademia&#8217;s greatest strength: its Dorsoduro location with neighbouring museums within walking distance. Three sensible day plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&#8220;Dorsoduro classics day&#8221;:<\/strong> Accademia in the morning (9:00\u201312:00), lunch break in Dorsoduro (e.g. Pasticceria Tonolo), Peggy Guggenheim in the afternoon (3 min on foot, 13:30\u201316:00). Optionally Ca&#8217; Rezzonico or Punta della Dogana in the late afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Renaissance painters day&#8221;:<\/strong> Accademia in the morning + the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in the afternoon (Tintoretto cycle, San Polo, 12 min on foot via Campo San Barnaba).

If you visit all the rooms and take time for the narrative cycles by Carpaccio and Bellini, plan 3 hours. A highlights version (principal works by Bellini, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto, Titian) is doable in 90 minutes.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is the Accademia included in the MUVE Museum Pass?<\/summary><div><p>No. The Accademia is a state gallery and not part of the municipal MUVE Museum Pass. Tickets are only available individually via the official site gallerieaccademia.it (or the authorised ticket service named there) or via third parties such as GetYourGuide.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>On which day is the Accademia closed?<\/summary><div><p>Usually closed all day on Mondays, as well as on 1 January and 25 December. Tuesday to Sunday mostly 9:00 to about 19:00\/19:15 (ticket sales until 18:00). If closing days fall near public holidays, substitute closing days can apply \u2014 check the official site before your visit.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is skip-the-line worth it for the Accademia?<\/summary><div><p>In high season (June\u2013August, Carnival weeks, Easter, holiday weekends) and on free\/special days, online pre-booking can significantly reduce the wait \u2014 though a fixed time saving cannot be guaranteed. In the shoulder seasons it is usually unnecessary, in the winter months almost never. On the first Sunday of the month (free entry) the queues are especially long.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>When is the best day and time?<\/summary><div><p>Tuesday to Thursday mornings between 9:00 and 11:30 are the quietest windows. Friday to Sunday and the first Sunday of the month are busier. In the winter months all times of day are quiet.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Which paintings should I not miss?<\/summary><div><p>Four absolute must-sees: Giorgione&#8217;s &#8220;La Tempesta&#8221; (often interpreted as one of the earliest independent landscape paintings in Western art history), Veronese&#8217;s &#8220;Convito in Casa di Levi&#8221; (12 metres, the Inquisition scandal), Titian&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; (one of his last works) and Carpaccio&#8217;s Saint Ursula cycle (nine panels) \u2014 one of the museum&#8217;s quiet highlights. Room numbers can change; check the current hanging on site.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s &#8220;Vitruvian Man&#8221; on display?<\/summary><div><p>The drawing belongs to the Accademia collection but is rarely shown for conservation reasons \u2014 typically a few weeks every few years as part of special exhibitions. Check gallerieaccademia.it before your visit to see whether the work is currently on display.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is there an audio guide in English?<\/summary><div><p>Yes, the official audio guide is available in English \u2014 about \u20ac6 extra at the entrance. Worth it, because without art-historical context the route quickly becomes a mere sequence of pictures.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is the Accademia accessible during acqua alta?<\/summary><div><p>During typical acqua alta events, usually yes. Dorsoduro lies higher than San Marco and the collection is mostly on the first floor. During stronger acqua alta, individual routes through Dorsoduro, vaporetto access or the entrance area can briefly be affected; check current information directly on the museum website or on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/acqua-alta-venice\/\">acqua alta page with live tide levels<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Can I visit the Accademia with children?<\/summary><div><p>With limits. From ages 8\u201310, the Saint Ursula cycle (Carpaccio, a narrative picture sequence) and Veronese&#8217;s giant painting work well. Younger children are overwhelmed by the density of the collection. Plan a maximum of 90 minutes, then switch to the Peggy Guggenheim \u2014 modern art and the sculpture garden often work better for children.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>How do I combine the Accademia with other museums?<\/summary><div><p>Best combination: Accademia in the morning + Peggy Guggenheim in the afternoon. Both are in Dorsoduro, 3 minutes apart on foot. Note the closing day \u2014 the Peggy Guggenheim is closed on Tuesdays, which rules out the combination on a Tuesday. To pack more in: add Punta della Dogana (15 min on foot) or Ca&#8217; Rezzonico (10 min) \u2014 both also in Dorsoduro.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Which entrance, and where is the ticket desk?<\/summary><div><p>The entrance is directly on the Campo della Carit\u00e0 at the foot of the Accademia bridge. Tickets are in the foyer; in high season online pre-booking helps against queues. Larger bags must go to the cloakroom \u2014 free cloakroom at the entrance.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>How do I get to the Accademia?<\/summary><div><p>Vaporetto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">line 1<\/a> (Grand Canal line, all stops) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">line 2<\/a> (express) stop at Accademia \u2014 2 minutes on foot to the entrance.
