Gallerie dellAccademia

**★★★★★ Matías Carrasco Jiménez — 2 weeks ago

As usual with Italian museums: messy and confusing outline, however, beautiful pieces. This a perfect gateway to understand Venice, not as city in Italy, but as the historically independent, powerful and proud city it is. A republic and colonial power for centuries, I found this to be the closest to a “national gallery of Venice”, even though it mostly comprises renaissance art. Short visit, and, fortunately, quite empty (low season, winter). I loved this place.
