About this experience

Museums of the Islands Tickets Your Museums of the Islands tickets grant access to two remarkable museums preserving Venice's artisan heritage. The Murano Glass Museum showcases centuries of glassmaking mastery, from 1st-century Roman pieces to contemporary works. You'll see Angelo Barovier's celebrated clear glass invention and Vincenzo D'Angelo dal Gallo's diamond-point engravings alongside live glassblowing demonstrations. The Burano Lace Museum displays exquisite handwoven lace pieces created using the famous Burano Lace Point technique. Leonardo da Vinci once visited this very island to acquire lace for Milan's cathedral. Interactive displays reveal the patience and skill required for each delicate creation, preserving traditions spanning over 700 years.
