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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
