It was founded in 1830, when the nobleman Teodoro Correr (1750\u20131830) bequeathed his extensive collection of Venetian art, coins, weapons and documents to the city. The collection has been expanded several times and is housed today in the Procuratie Nuove and the adjoining Ala Napoleonica at the western end of St Mark&#8217;s Square \u2014 two of Venice&#8217;s most prominent buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Correr is part of the municipal MUVE network (Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia), which also includes the Doge&#8217;s Palace, Ca&#8217; Rezzonico, Palazzo Mocenigo, Ca&#8217; Pesaro and the island museums of Murano and Burano. The regular visit usually runs on the <strong>St Mark&#8217;s Square Museums Ticket<\/strong>: one admission covers four venues \u2014 Doge&#8217;s Palace, Museo Correr, Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale) and the Sala Monumentale of the Marciana Library. These four are physically connected and can be walked in one circuit. Individual or special tickets can differ during exhibitions or promotions \u2014 VisitMUVE and the official ticket shop are authoritative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The building complex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Correr occupies the upper floors of the <strong>Procuratie Nuove<\/strong> (1582\u20131640, by Vincenzo Scamozzi after Sansovino&#8217;s design) and the <strong>Ala Napoleonica<\/strong> (1810\u201313, the western closure of St Mark&#8217;s Square built under Napoleonic administration). The entrance is in the middle of the Ala Napoleonica \u2014 easy to miss for travellers who only visit St Mark&#8217;s Basilica or the Doge&#8217;s Palace. Visiting the Correr, you walk through the same rooms where procurators and Napoleonic administrators once resided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights \u2014 room by room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route is organised in three thematic areas: city history (Procuratie Nuove), the picture gallery (Quadreria, second floor of the Procuratie Nuove) and the Risorgimento (Ala Napoleonica). The following rooms and works are the essential stops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Reception ballroom (Sala da Ballo) with Canova works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first room after the entrance is one of the museum&#8217;s most impressive. The neoclassical ballroom was built between 1822 and 1838 in the Ala Napoleonica and shows works, models and sculptures from the circle of the Italian sculptor <strong>Antonio Canova (1757\u20131822)<\/strong> \u2014 alongside Bertel Thorvaldsen one of Europe&#8217;s most important neoclassicists. On display are works relating to &#8220;Orpheus and Eurydice&#8221; and &#8220;Daedalus and Icarus&#8221; as well as the model for Canova&#8217;s self-portrait stele. Canova came from Possagno (Veneto) and is one of the key figures of Venetian art around 1800. The hall itself is decorated with stucco, gilded mirrors and a marble floor \u2014 a world of its own after the gravity of the Republic rooms in the Doge&#8217;s Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The history rooms \u2014 the Republic in objects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several rooms in the Procuratie Nuove document the history of the Venetian Republic through objects: coins (the Republic&#8217;s coin cabinet with ducats, soldi and zecchini from the 9th to the 18th century), weapons and armour from the lagoon wars, standards, Doge portraits and original treaties with foreign powers. If, after the Doge&#8217;s Palace, you want to meet the Republic&#8217;s self-image, here you find its everyday tools: how was money minted? How were the troops equipped? What did a treaty with the Ottoman sultan look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Coronelli globes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two monumental globes from the 17th century, made by the Franciscan friar and cartographer <strong>Vincenzo Coronelli (1650\u20131718)<\/strong> \u2014 court cartographer to the French king and founder of one of Europe&#8217;s first geographical societies. The globes are about 1.1 metres in diameter and show the geographical knowledge and uncertainties of the late 17th century \u2014 a mapped America, a largely unknown Australia. A favourite stop for many visitors, because the globes make the world view of the time immediately readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Quadreria \u2014 the picture gallery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the second floor: the Pinacoteca Correr, the picture gallery of the Republic collection. Principal works from the 13th to the 17th century, with a clear focus on the Quattrocento (15th c.). Must-see works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carpaccio&#8217;s &#8220;Two Venetian Ladies&#8221; (Le Cortigiane, c. 1495)<\/strong> \u2014 one of Venice&#8217;s most enigmatic paintings. The traditional reading as &#8220;courtesans&#8221; is now considered problematic; through a related companion piece (Getty Museum, Los Angeles) the picture is read rather in the context of patrician leisure or hunting scenes. The two paintings originally belonged together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Antonello da Messina&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; (c. 1475)<\/strong> \u2014 one of the most haunting works of the Venetian Renaissance. Antonello da Messina contributed decisively to spreading the Flemish glazed oil technique in Venice, which shaped the entire later Quattrocento.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Giovanni Bellini&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; and &#8220;Transfiguration of Christ&#8221; (c. 1455)<\/strong> \u2014 early works by Bellini, before his Renaissance maturity. Their emotional intensity shows Bellini as a mediator between medieval piety and Renaissance naturalism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lorenzo Lotto, Cima da Conegliano, Bartolomeo Vivarini<\/strong> \u2014 further key figures of Venetian Quattrocento painting across several rooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The Risorgimento museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the top floor of the Ala Napoleonica: the museum of the Venetian Risorgimento, the Italian unification movement of the 19th century. The focus is on the brief weeks of 1848\u201349, when Daniele Manin proclaimed the &#8220;Repubblica di San Marco&#8221; in Venice against Austrian rule \u2014 an episode often missing from travel literature but central to Venice&#8217;s Italian self-image. Documents, flags, weapons and portraits. A smaller section, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Archaeological Museum + Marciana Library (same ticket)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Correr an internal connection leads directly into the <strong>Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Venezia<\/strong> with Greek and Roman antiquity \u2014 sculptures from the bequest of Cardinal Domenico Grimani (1523) and other Venetian patricians. The route then continues into the <strong>Sala Monumentale of the Marciana Library<\/strong> with Sansovino&#8217;s Renaissance reading room \u2014 one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, with ceiling paintings by Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto. Both are included in the same combined ticket \u2014 most visitors do all three in one circuit. Around 2 hours for the whole complex.<\/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 and validity depend on the specific ticket type and booking time \u2014 the following values are a guide (as of spring 2026) and should be <strong>checked on the official site visitmuve.it or the official ticket shop before buying<\/strong>. The regular Museo Correr visit usually runs on the St Mark&#8217;s Square Museums Ticket, which also covers the Doge&#8217;s Palace, the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana. Individual or special tickets can differ during exhibitions or promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"tv-decision-matrix\"><caption>Museo Correr 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>St Mark&#8217;s Square Museums Ticket (standard)<\/td><td>from approx. \u20ac30<\/td><td>Doge&#8217;s Palace + Correr + Archaeological Museum + Marciana; early-booking price, possibly more at short notice<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MUVE Museum Pass<\/td><td>guide from approx. \u20ac40<\/td><td>Several municipal museums incl. the Correr; check price, venues and validity in advance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>St Mark&#8217;s City Pass<\/td><td>varies<\/td><td>Various packages with St Mark&#8217;s Basilica areas + Correr<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reduced (EU citizens 18\u201325, students)<\/td><td>reduced<\/td><td>With ID at the desk<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Children under 6<\/td><td>free<\/td><td>Carry ID<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note on special routes:<\/strong> guided special tours such as the &#8220;Itinerari Segreti&#8221; concern the Doge&#8217;s Palace and have their own prices and time slots (guide approx. \u20ac40). They are not a separate Correr ticket and should be checked separately on VisitMUVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical tip:<\/strong> with the combined St Mark&#8217;s Square ticket you can deliberately split the day across the four venues or \u2014 depending on ticket type and validity \u2014 return on different days. A typical St Mark&#8217;s day (Doge&#8217;s Palace in the morning + Correr complex in the afternoon) covers 4\u20136 hours of museum programme and is demanding. If you want to absorb acqua alta weather, the stretched version helps: Doge&#8217;s Palace one day, Correr + Archaeological + Marciana the next.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"tv-tickets\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#1a4d6e 0%,#2a5f7e 100%);color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:22px 26px;margin:24px 0\"><h3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#fff\">Tickets for Museo Correr \u2014 compare providers<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;color:#e8eef3\">Booking online in advance saves queueing at the entrance.

The Museo Correr&#8217;s exhibition rooms lie above square level (first floor and higher). Nevertheless, the entrance, routes across St Mark&#8217;s Square, raised walkways, security checks or opening hours can be affected during stronger acqua alta; in very high events the museum entrances in the St Mark&#8217;s complex can close temporarily. Check current MUVE information and tide levels before your visit \u2014 for instance on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/acqua-alta-venice\/\">acqua alta page with live tide levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to bridge a high-water half day in San Marco, the Correr + Archaeological + Marciana keep you well occupied for around 2 hours \u2014 provided access is open.<\/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 Correr is easier to plan with children than the Doge&#8217;s Palace \u2014 the rooms are wider, the pace is your own, and objects (coins, globes, weapons) appeal to children more than picture galleries. What works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Coronelli globes<\/strong> \u2014 about 1.1 metres in diameter; children from 6\u20137 are immediately fascinated by the &#8220;old world view&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The coin cabinet<\/strong> \u2014 display cases with real ducats and zecchini, often with a mini quiz: &#8220;Where is the lion of San Marco?&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The weapons collection<\/strong> \u2014 halberds, swords and galley cannons from the lagoon wars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Canova reception ballroom<\/strong> \u2014 a wow effect from the hall&#8217;s monumental size and gilded stucco.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> the Quadreria (picture gallery) is often too long for children \u2014 a highlights tour with Carpaccio&#8217;s &#8220;Cortigiane&#8221; and Antonello&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; is usually enough.<\/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 visitor information, the Museo Correr offers lifts and low-barrier access; individual historic transitions between rooms, thresholds or internal connections can still have restrictions. Visitors with limited mobility should check the current accessibility information on VisitMUVE in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combining the Museo Correr \u2014 day plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Correr is not designed as a solo visit \u2014 it is part of the combined St Mark&#8217;s Square ticket and unfolds its strength in combination.

Lunch break in a bacaro east of St Mark&#8217;s Square. In the afternoon Correr + Archaeological Museum + Marciana (13:30\u201316:00). Optionally the campanile ascent to close the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;History focus day&#8221;:<\/strong> morning Doge&#8217;s Palace with the Itinerari Segreti tour. Lunch break. Afternoon Correr \u2014 focusing on the city-history rooms and the Risorgimento museum. Quadreria optional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Renaissance painting day&#8221;:<\/strong> morning Correr Quadreria (Bellini, Carpaccio, Antonello). Afternoon Accademia (across the Accademia bridge). To pack more in: the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with the Tintoretto cycle afterwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guided tours \u2014 St Mark&#8217;s museums and Republic history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guided tours of the Correr are usually offered as a package with the Doge&#8217;s Palace \u2014 if you want to understand the history of St Mark&#8217;s Square, you benefit from the continuous narrative of both houses. Suitable St Mark&#8217;s museums, Doge&#8217;s Palace and Republic-history tours are available from our affiliate partner GetYourGuide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"tv-reisebuero-cta\"><h3>Book St Mark&#8217;s museums and Doge&#8217;s Palace tours<\/h3><p>Guided tours of the St Mark&#8217;s Square museums (Correr, Doge&#8217;s Palace, Marciana) and the history of the Venetian Republic at our affiliate partner GetYourGuide:<\/p><p><a class=\"tv-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/venedig-l35\/?partner_id=9C421&#038;q=Museo%20Correr%20Markusplatz%20Dogenpalast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">St Mark&#8217;s museums tours at GetYourGuide<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about the Museo Correr<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"tv-faq\">\n\n<details><summary>How long does a visit to the Museo Correr take?<\/summary><div><p>60\u201390 minutes for the Correr alone. With the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana Library (all three on the same ticket) about 2 hours. If you do the whole St Mark&#8217;s combined complex (Doge&#8217;s Palace + Correr + Archaeological + Marciana) in one day, plan 4\u20136 hours.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Can I visit the Correr without the Doge&#8217;s Palace?<\/summary><div><p>The regular Correr visit usually runs on the St Mark&#8217;s Square Museums Ticket, which also covers the Doge&#8217;s Palace, the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana (from approx. \u20ac30). Alternatively it is included in the MUVE Museum Pass. Individual or special tickets can differ during exhibitions or promotions \u2014 VisitMUVE and the official ticket shop are authoritative. The four venues form the St Mark&#8217;s complex and are generally presented as a unit.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is the Museo Correr included in the MUVE Museum Pass?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. The MUVE pass covers several municipal museums, including the Correr, Doge&#8217;s Palace, Ca&#8217; Rezzonico, Palazzo Mocenigo, Ca&#8217; Pesaro and the island museums of Murano and Burano. Check the price, included venues and validity on VisitMUVE before buying \u2014 from three venues the pass usually beats single tickets.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>What is the reception ballroom with Canova?<\/summary><div><p>The first room after the entrance in the Ala Napoleonica \u2014 a neoclassical ballroom from the 1820s and 1830s with works, models and sculptures from the circle of Antonio Canova (1757\u20131822), the most important Italian neoclassical sculptor. Among them works relating to &#8220;Orpheus and Eurydice&#8221; and &#8220;Daedalus and Icarus&#8221; as well as the model of his self-portrait stele. For many visitors one of the museum&#8217;s most impressive rooms.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>What are the Coronelli globes?<\/summary><div><p>Two monumental globes from the 17th century, made by the Franciscan friar and cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli (1650\u20131718), court cartographer to the French king and founder of one of Europe&#8217;s first geographical societies. About 1.1 metres in diameter, they show the geographical knowledge and uncertainties of the late 17th century. A favourite stop for many visitors.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Which paintings should I not miss?<\/summary><div><p>Four must-sees in the Quadreria: Carpaccio&#8217;s &#8220;Two Venetian Ladies&#8221; (&#8220;Le Cortigiane&#8221;, c. 1495, one of Venice&#8217;s most enigmatic pictures \u2014 the old &#8220;courtesans&#8221; reading is now considered problematic), Antonello da Messina&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; (c. 1475 \u2014 Antonello contributed decisively to spreading the Flemish glazed oil technique in Venice), Giovanni Bellini&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; (c. 1455) and Bellini&#8217;s &#8220;Transfiguration of Christ&#8221;. Plus works by Lorenzo Lotto and Cima da Conegliano.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>What is the Risorgimento museum?<\/summary><div><p>A smaller section on the top floor of the Ala Napoleonica, dedicated to the Italian unification movement of the 19th century. The focus is the Republic of San Marco of 1848\u201349 under Daniele Manin against Austrian rule \u2014 an episode often missing from travel literature but central to Venice&#8217;s Italian self-image. About 30 minutes.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is skip-the-line worth it for the Correr?<\/summary><div><p>Indirectly \u2014 the queue at the Correr entrance in the Ala Napoleonica is usually much shorter than at the Doge&#8217;s Palace. If you pre-book the combined St Mark&#8217;s ticket online and enter at the Correr, you often save waiting time in high season, because most travellers head straight for the Doge&#8217;s Palace. Via the internal connection you then walk from the Correr to the Doge&#8217;s Palace. A fixed time saving cannot be guaranteed.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is the Correr accessible during acqua alta?<\/summary><div><p>The exhibition rooms lie above square level. Nevertheless, the entrance, routes across St Mark&#8217;s Square, raised walkways, security checks or opening hours can be affected during stronger acqua alta; in very high events the entrances in the St Mark&#8217;s complex can close temporarily. Check current MUVE information and tide levels before your visit \u2014 for instance 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>How do I get from the Correr to the Doge&#8217;s Palace?<\/summary><div><p>There is an internal connection between the four St Mark&#8217;s venues \u2014 from the Correr you pass through the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana Library and arrive directly at the Doge&#8217;s Palace. This route is permitted with the combined ticket and avoids the outdoor queue at the Doge&#8217;s Palace entrance. Full circuit of all four venues: 4\u20136 hours.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Does the Correr have a closing day?<\/summary><div><p>No \u2014 the Correr is open daily (Mon\u2013Sun), closed only on 25 December and 1 January. That makes it the ideal fallback when the Accademia (Mon) or the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Tue) is closed. Check special openings on VisitMUVE in advance.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Can I visit the Correr with children?<\/summary><div><p>From ages 8\u201310 the Correr works well, above all the Coronelli globes, the coin cabinet, the weapons collection and the Canova hall. The Quadreria (picture gallery) is often too long for children \u2014 a highlights tour with Carpaccio&#8217;s &#8220;Cortigiane&#8221; and Antonello&#8217;s &#8220;Piet\u00e0&#8221; is usually enough. Plan a maximum of 90 minutes.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/doges-of-venice\/\">The Doges of Venice \u2014 election, residence, burials<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/art-in-venice\/\">Art in Venice \u2014 Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Palladio, Bellini<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-museums\/\">Museums in Venice \u2014 overview and passes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-museums\/doges-palace\/\">Doge&#8217;s Palace \u2014 on the same combined ticket<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-museums\/accademia\/\">Gallerie dell&#8217;Accademia \u2014 Venetian painting in Dorsoduro<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-museums\/peggy-guggenheim-collection\/\">Peggy Guggenheim Collection \u2014 modern art<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-museums\/ca-rezzonico\/\">Ca&#8217; Rezzonico \u2014 the Settecento in Dorsoduro<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-sights\/st-marks-square\/\">St Mark&#8217;s Square \u2014 architecture and buildings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/venice-sights\/\">Venice sights \u2014 the 12 most important places<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/acqua-alta-venice\/\">Acqua alta \u2014 live tide levels and accessibility<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In brief: The Museo Correr on St Mark&#8217;s Square is the central municipal museum of Venice&#8217;s history, art and culture.
