Museo Provinciale di Torcello

About

Visit the Torcello Museum to learn about the origins of Venice. Browse through the Archaeological Section, where you see artifacts from the Paleolithic era up to the late Roman period, including Roman grave monuments and objects from nearby Altino. Continue to the Medieval and Modern Section, which covers the early Christian era to the 19th-century developments on the island. See local archaeological finds that shed light on the culture and daily life of past island residents. The museum, founded in the late 19th century, protects and preserves this range of artifacts to prevent the island’s historical legacy from disappearing.
