The Glass Museum on Murano, the heart of the glass industry, is located in the Palazzo Giustinian which was the former residence of Torcello’s bishop. The Museum was founded in 1961 and has been expanded through many donations from local glass makers. The museum and its exhibition objects from ancient Greek times to contemporary times will give you an overview of the production and history of glass. Here you can view glass objects made in Greece, antiques from the 20th century, contemporary models, and much more. The palace gardens are also worth a visit.
