Art & Design School Trips to Venice

Venice is a unique and precious repository of art. Artists of the highest calibre have left their mark all over the city and works by Venice’s grand masters Titian, Tintoretto, Canaletto and Tiepolo can still be viewed in situ today. Venice also has a contemporary art scene that lives up to its glorious art history - the Peggy Guggenheim Collection of 20th-century masters has long been the city’s third most visited attraction, while the Punta della Dogana, which opened in 2009, brought works by contemporary giants including Dan Flavin and Jeff Koons to the city.  Add to this the tradition and spectacle of the Venice Carnival masks and Murano glass and there is much to inspire your art and design students on a tour to this remarkable city.
