The National Museum of Archaeology in Venice is a state museum dedicated to archaeology, located in St Mark’s Square. The Museum dates back to the 16th century and thanks to donations from Venetian families it became a genuine collection. Today it is home to a collection of ancient relics, including Greek statues from the 5th and 4 centuries BCE: three statues of Galatians, Celtic warriors from the collection of Cardinal Domenico Grimani and depicted during the Roman period, together with relief works, inscriptions, ceramics, ivory, gems and a numismatic collection.

The National Museum of Archaeology in Venice has a short multimedia visiting route that can be consulted in Italian, English and Italian sign language to allow all visitors to enjoy its masterpieces to the full. The route is mapped out using QR codes – by VEASYT Srl, a spin-off of the Ca’ Foscari University, Venice – and placed on six of the most important works in the museum collection. The QR codes can be consulted free of charge, using your own handheld devices (smartphones and tablet) during the visit.

The multimedia route is also available free of charge from your home computer, on the website.
