One of the most prestigious places for the study and promotion of culture and arts, located in the former Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio, home to international conferences dedicated to the history and art of Venice, theater and music, to the East. Inside: the research institutes, the ancient Longhena library, the new art library in the 'Long Channel' and the photographic archive. Numerous and qualified exhibits for free entry during the year, in particular those on design and glass production, always fascinating. You can book a guided tour during which you can admire the two cloisters, the Palladian refectory, with the reproduction of the Veronese Wedding at Cana, and the labyrinth dedicated to Borges. At the exit, we recommend a visit to the Church and its bell tower.
