The layouts of the House Museum

Over the centuries, the Querini family palace has undergone transformations and renovations, especially in its interiors, adapting to the tastes and needs of each era.

Today, the rooms of the Casa Museo recreate the atmosphere of an 18th-century noble residence. A refined example is the olive-green salon: frescoes, boiserie, precious mirrors, and Venetian glass chandeliers enhance its grace and intimacy.

By the end of the 18th century, the grand and solemn rooms of earlier times gave way to more intimate and sophisticated spaces. Furniture became lighter, decorations more elegant, with panelling and frescoes lending the rooms a timeless charm.

In the captivating porcelain room, among 18th-century frescoes and decorations, an oval table is set with pieces from the precious Sèvres porcelain service, purchased by Alvise Querini.

The tableware, refined and understated, perfectly embodies the Louis XVI style of the late 1700s. Completing the table setting is a magnificent 19th-century table carpet, entirely handmade in Venetian stitch, embroidered with bucolic scenes of extraordinary craftsmanship.

Two Murano glass chandeliers cast a warm, enveloping light, illuminating the frescoed ceiling, which features Aurora by Jacopo Guarana and Apollo and a Muse by Costantino Cedini - true masterpieces of art and craftsmanship.

Displayed on the shelves along the walls are surtout pieces and rare porcelain from the Venetian Cozzi and Vezzi manufactories, as well as objects from the prestigious manufactories of Nove and Vienna.

Every corner of the Casa Museo tells the story of the family and its connection to the city. The care and preservation, which began after Giovanni Querini's death in 1869, has continued with passion to preserve the charm and soul of a house, not just a museum.

From every room emerges a special attention to enhancing the furnishings and works of art, creating an immersive experience that allows visitors to relive the splendour of a bygone era, where elegance met everyday life.
