Fondazione Querini Stampalia

[1] Architect Carlo Scarpa designed interior, exterior, and garden elements and spaces on the ground floor of the historic building.

Located just South of the Church of Santa Maria Formosa in the sestiere Castello, the Foundation is open to the public for academic research.

The museum has a substantial art collection, specially of masterpieces of Venetian Baroque and Rococo, including paintings by Giovanni Bellini (Presentation at the Temple), Pietro Longhi, Giandomenico Tiepolo, Giulio Carpioni, Federico Cervelli, Matteo Ghidoni, Pietro and Alessandro Longhi, Pietro Muttoni, (also called della Vecchia), and Marco and Sebastiano Ricci among others.

The museum also hosts some more modern works, including from the donation of the post-impressionist Venetian artist Eugenio Da Venezia.

[3] The Biblioteca della Fondazione Querini Stampalia, the Foundation Library, is open even on Sundays, the only one of its kind in the city, from 10 AM to 7 PM.
