Venice Music Museum with Audioguide

Explore a cornerstone of Italian cultural history with an audio-guided tour of the Venice Museum of Music. This extraordinary exhibition space inside the church of San Maurizio is dedicated to the rich tradition of Italian violin making. The collection "Antonio Vivaldi and his time" by Maestro Artemio Versari takes you on a journey through the golden age of Italian violin making, telling the story of 18th-century Venetian music through pieces belonging to the various workshops or "schools" that made Italian craftsmanship famous throughout Europe.

While musical instruments are prized for their shapes and decorations, little is known about their construction and the details that separate high-end craftsmanship from true works of art. With this audio-guided tour of the Venice Museum of Music, you’ll learn all about master violin makers, like Antonio Stradivari, and how their traditional violin-making techniques have never been surpassed.
