Querini Stampalia Foundation (Fondazione Querini Stampalia) Tours and Activities

Learn about modern art in Venice during a private walking tour that takes you into the vibrant art scene that has existed in this city for centuries. The Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, and Venice has supported the arts in museums such as Ca’Pesaro and neighborhoods including Dorsoduro. Explore several destinations with your guide, who shares live commentary about the people who have made this city a vital arts destination.

Buy your ticket in advance for Venice’s popular Casa Museo Querini Stampalia, guaranteeing your preferred entry day.

A self-guided tour lets you learn firsthand about the family and their role in Venetian society.

Discover the work of contemporary architects inside ancient buildings, and unexpected restoration works in the city. A journey through foundations, museums, and public works with a delicious gourmet aperitif at the end.
