Palazzo Grimani a Santa Maria Formosa

Open: Mon: 08.15-14.00. Tue - Sun: 08.15-19.15.

The Palazzo Grimani was originally the residence of Doge Antonio Grimani (1521-23), but was rebuilt, in the classical style, by his heirs, between 1532 and 1569. 

Its famous collection of classical sculptures now forms the core of Venice's Museo Archeologico. However, the Tribuna, which was designed to display some of the masterpieces in the collection, still has, suspended dramatically from its ceiling, the ancient Roman sculpture of the Rape of Ganymede.
