Even if you don't like Canova, you'll ADORE this museum. Set in his birthplace and in an adjoining building, it contains a unique collection of the plaster statues that were then carved in marble by the artists' assistants in his Rome workshop, then finished by Canova himself. Museum guides are passionate and incredibly informative and will turn a visit to the gypsotheque into an amazing journey in time with details on Canova's life, techniques, and the events of the age when Europe was swept by Napoleon's tidal wave. Part of the collection and Canova's tools are on display in the artists' family home and birthplace. *note: if you like this kind of things, well hidden at the bottom of a display case on the top floor you'll find Canova's death mask, his shoes and stockings and even his toupee. I'm not writing this to spoil your fun, but because I'd missed them on my first visit*

A most Museum to Visit - awesome experience 💙💙great deep understanding of what Antonio canova was a Master sculpture Artist of 1770. ---DISSAPOINT by THE STAFF VERY Rude no respect for tourism -who drive far away just to enjoy this wonderfully place. Manager need to work this issued out- Bathrooms are available so don't worrry about it😉thank you to stop by

Beautiful museum full of plaster statues of artist Antonio Canova. The real marble statues are scattered around the world. Plus you can visit his home.

People who don't know Antonio Canova will become his diehard fan after visiting this museum. You can see beautiful neoclassical sculptures made by him. Antonio Canova, like many of his contemporaries, considered the masterpieces of Greek sculpture, with the perfect bodies of athletes and the beautiful figures of goddesses, the highest level ever achieved by art. Lot of portrait sculptures are also there. You can also see the beautiful paintings by Antonio Canova here.

Our next stop of the day was touring Antonio Canova's Museum, probably of the least known Italian sculptors. Absolutely NO pictures allowed of his works of art. They are simply beautiful. I did take photos of the outside grounds and of a photo of a photo of the gorgeous Adonis & Venus. Just too too many to list. We were able to purchase a painting and post cards to take with us for life long memories. Google his work for more details. You must visit!

This is great museum in old Canova house giving great insight into his works. Recommended not only for sculpture lovers

Beautiful, well worth the trip, together with Canova's uphill temple!

Der Weg hierher lohnt sich sehr, denn nicht nur die Exponate, sondern auch deren Repräsentation sind durchaus sehenswert. Wenn man vorher auch noch die Museen in Venedig besucht hat, dann wird man das eine oder andere sogar Wiedererkennen. Wie eindrucksvoll man aus Gips einen Körper gestalten kann und wie dabei vom Künstler vorgegangen wurde, ist auch ein Teil der Ausstellung.

Great place, visited 3 times, alway nice.

Great experience and private tour of the space with director Chiara. Would love to go back for the night time candle light tour.

It was €10 per person to visit the museum. It’s not a big museum but full of wonderful sculptures and replicas. Definitely worth visiting. I also like the little courtyard with hanging plants there.

Ist ein kleines Museum. Sehr sehenswert

Probably the best museum in this region. Well worth the 10€ ticket cost.

This museum was very impressive. The entrance fee was 6€. There were many statues to see.

a truly fascinating museum, all really well cared for, admission for groups costs 6 euros and it is absolutely worth it! if you get the chance take a tour here. walking in the museum you have the impression of walking in the house of Canova who was actually born here

Always a pleasure to come back and immerse myself into the world of the great Canova. Its chalk works are an evergreen to visit over and over again. A side note is: if you would like english tour guides you need to call and book in advance, while italian tours are organized every hour.

Apart from all these good comments about the museum and Antonio Canova art, you can realise how he was successful and good at drawing and oil painting. With this ticket, you can have also discounts for other four museums valid for one year such as Casa Giorgione, Villa Maser

Peace of mind

A modern museum about Canova's preparation works either in clay or plaster. An inner garden welcome you with refreshing shade in the summer hot.
