• Interpreti Veneziani Concert in Venice Including Music Museum

The Venice Music Museum is free to visit with no admission charge. Private guided tours of the museum cost €20 per person, and audio guides are €5. The museum was founded by the Interpreti Veneziani classical music ensemble, and you can book tickets for their concerts at the nearby Church of San Vidal (Chiesa di San Vidal), with prices from around €35.

If you’d like to enjoy Venice with fewer tourists, aim for either January (after the holiday season) or March (following each year’s carnevale celebrations in February). Weather-wise, the best windows are late spring, early summer, and fall. In July or August, consider staying on Lido—home to Venice’s beaches.

Housed in the deconsecrated church of San Maurizio, the Venice Music Museum displays musical instruments from the 16th through 19th centuries, as well as information about famous Venetian and Italian composers such as Antonio Vivaldi. It is known for being one of Venice’s few free museums.

Yes, the Venice Music Museum is a good option for families traveling with children. Not only is the free entry a nice perk for budget-minded travelers, but kids of all ages may appreciate the sound demonstrations that take place within the former church of the handcrafted musical instruments on display.

That depends. The Venice Music Museum is compact, so if your time is limited, plan on spending around 20 minutes browsing the collection of instruments and appreciating the former church’s pitch-perfect acoustics as a rotating selection of musical compositions are played.
