While the Accademia is an amazing, must-see collection, when I was there in May most of it was off-limits due to renovations, so make sure you know what galleries are open before you go--a good guidebook will give you detailed room descriptions.

Other interesting museums: The small Fortuny Museum, with its beautiful interiors, has the benefit that house museums have of letting you vicariously imagine yourself living there. For something in a completely different mood, the Punta della Dogana contemporary art collection is often disturbing and serious--jerking you back to the present after your past-haunted walks through Venice. I deeply regret not having time to go to the Mocenigo Palace Museum that specializes in textiles, costume, fashion and furniture, but you always miss something don't you...and have to hope you get to go back.

Hallooooo--anyone there? If the links are not meant to work anymore, please post a notice that they are defunct....thanks.

This was a good deed.
