In brief:<\/strong> The Museo della Musica<\/strong> is a small music museum in the deconsecrated church of San Maurizio<\/strong> on the campo of the same name (Sestiere San Marco, between St Mark’s Square and the Accademia). According to current visitor information, admission is free or donation-based<\/strong>; optional services such as an audio guide may be charged. On show is the exhibition “Antonio Vivaldi e il suo tempo”<\/em> \u2014 historic string instruments from Vivaldi’s era (17th\/18th centuries): violins, cellos, lutes. The museum is closely linked to the ensemble Interpreti Veneziani<\/strong>, which gives Baroque concerts next door in the Chiesa di San Vidal. A 20\u201330-minute stop that pairs well with an evening concert.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What to expect \u2014 and who it is for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

San Maurizio is a plain neoclassical church that no longer holds services and serves as an exhibition space. Inside stands the collection of historic musical instruments, supplemented by panels on Antonio Vivaldi (1678\u20131741), who was born in Venice and produced most of his work here. The appeal lies less in the scale \u2014 the museum fills a single church interior \u2014 than in the context: you see instruments from Vivaldi’s time in a Baroque sacred space, right next to the stages where Vivaldi’s music is still played today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be clear: the Museo della Musica is not a primary destination<\/strong> but a rewarding, freely accessible stop on the route between St Mark’s Square and the Accademia \u2014 above all for anyone interested in music, violin making or Vivaldi. If you are planning an evening concert anyway, look in briefly during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link to the Vivaldi concerts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right next door, in the Chiesa di San Vidal<\/strong>, the ensemble Interpreti Veneziani has played its concert season for more than three decades \u2014 mostly Vivaldi, above all “The Four Seasons”. Museum and concerts are closely connected, so the combination works well: view the instruments by day, hear the music live in the evening. Programmes, dates and tickets for Venice’s concert venues are on our overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
