Clothing and Perfume Museum: fascinating insights into the lives of the Venetian nobility
The museum houses the vast collections of ancient fabrics and clothes belonging to the Venice City Museums, with a section dedicated to perfume. It is meant to be a Study Centre for the history of fabrics, costumes and fashion. The rooms skilfully evoke the different aspects of the life and activities of a Venetian nobleman between the 17th and 18th century.
The layout of the museum integrates the palazzo furnishings and paintings with a large number of works from different sectors and deposits of the Venice Civic Museums. After restoring and valorising canvases and pastels, furnishings and glass that had never been on display before, it w shows a rich and opulent display of luxurious elegance of former times.
