Cannaregio 4391/A / Strada Nova
Ca’ d’Oro vaporetto/waterbus stop (line no 1)
The Palazzo Michiel, also known as “Dal Brusà” after a
great fire in 1774 that damaged the pre-existing gothic building, was renovated
in 1777 with the financial backing of the Signoria. Its richly decorated rooms
still feature stuccos and frescoes by Jacopo Guarana in the upper floors,
and its impressive entrance hall will be used for the exhibition. As it is
facing the Canale Grande direct access by watertaxi is possible.
