To learn about the history of a city, I believe it is essential to visit the museums that preserve the history and works of a place. However, when you visit Venice’s museums you discover new aspects not only of the city and its history but also of the history of mankind.
In fact, visiting the Murano Glass Museum means understanding why this particular type of glass is so prized and how old the tradition of glassmaking is in Venice, a city where, with the craftsmanship handed down from the ancients, a unique material that is always capable of being modern is still produced.
Murano is one of the many islands in the Venetian lagoon and is world-famous for its glasswork, which has been produced here for centuries. The history of glass is told in the Glass Museum.
