Experience the Querini

More than just a visit.
Enjoying Venice at the Querini is an experience: discovering the House Museum and the art collections, exhibitions and events, architectural features and garden, the charm of the Library, the sociable atmosphere of the Coffee Bar and the refined selection at the Bookshop.
It is seeing, reading, studying, participating, contemplating, taking your time and immersing yourself in beauty.
