Home >  Top 15 Venice Italy Attractions >  Accademia Gallery

To be honest,,, art is not my favorite, but the powerful large paintings made a big impression on me. Below you can watch a nice impression about this Art Gallery. Of course you are curious about,,,

Which art can you expect in
The Accademia Gallery in Venice? 

You know Bellini, Carpaccio, Tintoretto and Tiepolo? Their artwork can be seen here. The beautiful collection is stolen by Napoleon from churches all around Europe and gathered in Venice. And the museum is used by the art school Accademia di Belle Arti houses near there. a Real Venice attraction! 

Walking through the museum yourself has its advantages. But with a knowledgeable guide, you learn a lot more. There is now a 2-hour guided tour of the museum. Strongly recommended. Check here if this guided tour in the museum is still available.

In total there are 24 rooms with paintings. If you start with room 1, then you will be guided through the rooms with paintings which are from one style, the same painter and the connecting period. In the Accademia Gallery the pieces of art are from the fourteenth until the eighteenth century. In Room 10 you can see a painting which was banned for many years.

The painting is made by Paolo Veronese. He liked to mock with the church. The restored painting caused raised eyebrows in the Catholic Church.

This painting is based on the Bible story about the "Last Supper in the House of Levi". But, this is a dinner of drunks, dwarfs, dogs with Muslims and Germans alongside the apostles.

Napoleon loved it, but the painting is prohibited a long time to exhibit. You don't want to be surprised in Venice Italy and you visits to its famous attractions. Therefore, I have for you...
