Past exhibitions

EMANUELE LUZZATI. Marco Polo’s Il Milione.

From December 10, 2005 to June 4, 2006

In this anniversary year, the exhibition brings together the surprising images created by Luzzati and a number of precious artefacts from the Museum collections (many of them not normally on display). These are either directly linked with ‘Il Milione’ or else illustrate the theme of travel and the crucial relationship which existed between Venice and the Orient. All the exhibits have been selected for the occasion by Camillo Tonini. […]

FROM BELLINI TO TIEPOLO. Great Venetian painting from Sorlini Foundation.

From October 29, 2005 to February 26, 2006

The exhibition presents a rich selection of works from the vast Sorlini collection.

MAURIZIO PELLEGRIN. Isole, the third space.

From September 3 to November 6, 2005

The project consists of installations, film, sculpture and photography, which together form one large single work: Isole. Each individual section has its own precise logic; however, its full vitality is captured when it is seen in relation to the spirit of the overall project. The work has been made possible by collaboration between the Venice Museum Authority, the Superintendence for Venice Museums, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana and the Museo Storico Navale. It is curated by Alice Rubbini, in collaboration with Michela Rizzo. […]

LUCIAN FREUD.

From June 11 to October 30, 2005

The exhibition presents a great variety of works, some small yet grand, some large yet intimate: the curator, the writer and critic William Feaver, who was responsible for Freud’s Tate retrospective in 2002, has selected them to represent Freud at his best and most acutely demonstrate his preoccupation with the feel of things.
