Experience Highlights

Discover a magical corner of Venice dedicated to art, design and creativity. With your ticket to Palazzo Fortuny you can tour the spaces of this Gothic palace transformed into a museum-workshop, where architecture, lighting, photography, fashion and scenography merge.

Located in the San Marco district, very close to Piazza San Marco, the palace was originally built by the Pesaro family in the 15th century and later converted into a house-studio by Mariano Fortuny, a multifaceted and innovative artist.

A visit to Palazzo Fortuny allows you to immerse yourself in the intimate atmosphere of the artistic genius: the spaces preserve original details, antique furniture, printed fabrics, handmade lamps and an atmosphere that mixes the visual with the intellectual. It's a small, cosy and very inspiring museum, perfect for exploring at your leisure.

Step by Step

Palazzo Fortuny, also known as Palazzo Pesaro Orfei, is a jewel of Venetian Gothic architecture that combines aristocratic history with modern creativity. In the early 20th century, Mariano Fortuny made it his home and the centre of his experiments with textiles, scenography, photography and design.

Today, the palace is presented as a living exhibition space, where you can tour both the noble rooms and the artist's workshops. The collection includes paintings, photographs, dresses, printed fabrics, decorative lamps, furniture and unique objects, all with Fortuny's unmistakable signature. The experience is immersive and sensory.

One of the great attractions of the museum is being able to walk through his original studio, bathed in light from the Gothic windows. There you can breathe in the artist's creative process, surrounded by tools, fabric samples, sketches and prototypes that reflect his innovative mind.

In addition to the permanent collection, the Palazzo Fortuny often hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, keeping it an active part of the Venetian cultural scene. All this in a setting that preserves the atmosphere of the past while maintaining a dialogue with the present.

For lovers of art, architecture and design, this is an essential visit. Ideal for those who are looking for something more authentic and deeper than the conventional tourist circuits, and want to feel the creative Venice from the inside.
