Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico), Venice

The Archaeological Museum, or Museo Archeologico, occupy rooms within both the Sansovino Library and the Procuratie Nuove. It was created to showcase the collection of Domenico Grimani, son of Doge Antonio Grimani, who donated his entire collection of Green, Roman and early sculptures, along with his library, to the State in 1523.

Today the Archaeological Museum of Venice provides visitors an opportunity to escape from the crowds in St. Marks Square, for a quiet moment indoors.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
