About Museo del Vetro (Museum of Glass)

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.
