The museum contains around 30,000 objects which were brought back from a trip to Asia in the 19th century by Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma.
The museums were open from 10 am to 5 pm and are closed on Mondays and on May 1st, December 25th and January 1st . Admission is €5.50 and is free for children under 12.
History
After trading hands several times, the palace was turned over to the city on the condition that it be used to exhibit the works of young Venetian artists. Initially, the Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna (Gallery of Modern Art) fulfilled this condition by exhibiting paintings and sculpture from the Biennale, an international art event. Additional acquisitions and donations have helped to turn the museums into an exemplary example of art.
The museum was closed for a period, but was reopened in 2002. the building had been restored during its closure and now retains it's classic elegance. The works are well presented and there are excellent views of the surrounding area from the building.
