Educational Tours » Art Tours » Venice
Venice
Venice is an artistic treasure trove, overflowing with cultural and architectural marvels. Your school group can also discover the wonderful collections of world-renowned artists and visit world famous attractions such as St Mark’s Basilica, Rialto Bridge and the Piazza San Marco.
During your art school tour to Venice, your pupils will see traditional works of art, stunning Venetian architecture, and will leave inspired by the range of educational visits on offer.
The Correr Museum is an exciting place to start to discover the art and the history of Venice. Students can then take part in a practical workshop making Carnival masks. Your group will then have the opportunity to see works by Venice's grand masters at the Guggenheim Collection or the International Gallery of Modern Art whilst artistic riches of the Venetian school can be found at the Galleria dell Accademia.
