Venice is synonymous with glass. The city has been home to some of the finest glass-makers for centuries. It is said that Venetians learned the art from Syrians, who were renowned in the Middle East for glass-making.
By the mid-14th century, Venetians had mastered the art so well that Venetian glass was famous world over. If you happen to be curious about the art of glass-making, there is no better place than the Museum of Glass in Murano to know about the history of Venetian glass.
Housed in a 17th-century palazzo, the museum contains some of the most significant and exquisite collections of glass in the world.
Stunning collection of glass pieces from the Roman times to the modern period. Don't miss the iced glass, filigree, the fascinating "glass garden", miniature mosaics
