About
The Correr Museum, also known as the Museo Correr, is a museum of Venetian history and art set on St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy. Its address is Piazza San Marco 52, in the Veneto region, so it sits among the buildings that make up the city's best-known public space.
The museum is devoted to the history of Venice. Its collections bring together sculptures, paintings and historical artifacts from the city's past, so a visit offers a way to see Venice's own story through objects rather than only through its streets and canals.
