About

Museo del Vetro, housed in the historic Palazzo Giustinian on Murano island, is the world’s most comprehensive glass museum. Opened in 1861, the museum showcases a vast chronological collection that spans from Roman glassware to the 20th‑century masterpieces that define Murano’s glittering reputation. Visitors can travel through the evolution of glass production, from early beads and mirrors to elaborate millefiori, aventurine, and iconic chandeliers. The museum’s modern visitor experience includes a free mobile audio guide, vibrant glass‑making demonstrations through MUVE Academy, and interactive exhibitions that bring the island’s history to life.
