Arte Veneziana for Families
DURATION: 2.5 hours
PRICE: €235 per group excl. tickets
This guided family visit to the Accademia Gallery in the company of an art historian will introduce your family to the world of Venetian art. Renaissance paintings, sometimes known as "15th century photographs," can be used as evidence of how little Venice has changed in 500 years, allowing your family to visually understand the history of this fascinating city.
Using interactive learning techniques to engage the entire family, we will explore highlights of the collection, which includes works by Veronese, Titian, Tintoretto, Giorgione, and Tiepolo, while weaving a narrative on the history and character of Venice and Venetian art. Historic feasts, procession, costume, and architecture are just some of the topics that may be explored with your family. Our time in the museum is also meant to help both children and adults hone their skills of observation and deduction when exploring art, skills that can surely be transfered to future vacations and museum visits.
In order to plan the best possible experience for your children, it would be helpful for us know some background. Have they traveled to other countries in the past? If so, where? Have they studied any subjects in school that would relate to the walk? Are they interested in art, music, even food! The more you can tell us, the better.
Due to the very interactive nature of this program and given the educational environment our docent aim to evoke, we adhere to a very strict maximum of 6 participants. Groups larger than 6 will need to book two separate walks that can run concurrently, but with different docents.
