The Correr Museum and the Library of St. Mark

The Correr Museum houses a vast historical and artistic hodge-podge related to the Venetian civilization: state robes, ducal bonnets, ship models, coins, weapons, and memorabilia from past battles.

A picture gallery holds the best collection of Venetian painting outside the Accademia Galleries, including Bellini's Cucifixion and the famous Carpaccio’s "Two Venetian Ladies" also known as the Courtesans.

Sansovino’s Library was begun in 1536. Made of white Istrian stone, the Library is the key High Renaissance building in Venice, notable not only because it recalls ancient Roman structures with its Doric and Ionian orders, friezes and statues on the balustrade, but for the play of light and shadow in its arcades. 

The interior was decorated with paintings by the greatest artists of the Venetian Renaissance, such as Titian, Veronese and Andrea Schiavone.
