It's advertised as a textile/costume/perfume museum, but there are only a few garments on display. The most interesting was a room with 50 or so waistcoats - if you find 50 nearly identical waistcoats interesting. There is also a room with a handful of perfume elements, but I think everyone already knows what lavender and sandalwood and patchouli smell like. While the rooms are beautiful and ornate, there is only a brief explanation card for each room, so if you're curious about specific items you won't find the information. It seemed like the info cards emphasized how rare and special everything was, without further explanation. For example, there was a display of antique perfuming (?) equipment, but the only information was that it's a rare, extensive, private collection. Nothing about the equipment itself. I would say this is less of a museum and more of a preserved home with a few displays. It was much, much smaller than the size of the building suggests. I would recommend skipping this one unless you have a museum pass.

Very beautiful museum; it has stunning chandeliers, old costumes, cosmetics, artwork and jewelry. It is very well preserved and displayed. It gives you a fantastic insight into how life was lived in the 17th/18th century. It’s really a wonderful museum with an amazing collection. I would definitely recommend visiting this museum when in Venice.

After all the bad reviews I almost didn't stop by, but had the museum pass and was in the area anyway. The palace is very nicely kept up and I enjoyed much of the art work better than Ca'Rezzonico though it lacked the grand ball room it had many nice frescoes as well. The dress selection was modest but suitable with several of the more ornate pieces in display in the main hall where guests could really get a good look at them up close. The waist coats were also well displayed with a great variety to be seen as well as several tail coats. The perfumery was not particularly to my tsste but was well displayed with a nice collection of various styles of perfume bottles. There was also an informative video on the subject that played in Italian and English. As mentioned in other posts the information on the cards is a bit sparse but is enough for an elementary grasp. If you have a city museum pass, drop by and enjoy the lovely palace and displays. If not O would only suggest paying full entry if you have a specific interest in perfume or period dress.

(Translated by Google) To be disappointed with the visit, no, otherwise I would not have put 4 stars, but misleading the title "study center of history of the fabric, of the costume and of the perfume", yes! In practice it is the visit of the noble floor of a sumptuous noble palace, with antique furniture, some of which belonged to the Mocenigo family, partly from other museums in Venice. Inside these rooms, sometimes there are mannequins with vintage clothes with little or no information and a small room with different busts that wear various types of precious vest. Interesting and more complete, in the last rooms of the piano nobile, the exhibition concerning the perfumes with the history of them, tools for the production, and in two rooms the possibility to sniff directly into special containers and bottles, the various essences more or less rare. Strange closing time at 16:00 and I did not see the toilet. (Original) Essere deluso della visita, no, altrimenti non avrei messo 4 stelle, ma fuorviante il titolo "centro studi di storia del tessuto, del costume e del profumo", sì! In pratica è la visita del piano nobile di un sontuoso palazzo nobiliare, con arredi antichi, in parte appartenuti alla famiglia Mocenigo, in parte provenienti da altri musei di Venezia. All'interno di queste sale, ogni tanto ci sono dei manichini con vestiti d'epoca con poche o quasi nulle informazioni ed una piccola stanza con diversi busti che indossano vari tipi di preziosi gilet. Interessante e più completa, nelle ultime sale del piano nobile, l'esposizione relativa ai profumi con la storia di essi, attrezzi per la produzione, ed in due sale la possibilità di annusare direttamente in appositi contenitori e boccette, le varie essenze più o meno rare. Strano orario di chiusura alle ore 16:00 e non ho visto la toilette.

There was a nice costume room to look at old costumes; and if you have children there is a room to smell scents that come from certain materials, which was quite enjoyable. I did however have an issue with the random objects that are just placed in the rooms. There was mouse poo in one of the rooms, but it was surrounded by toilet paper and little blue sheets of paper (I’m guessing the mouse poo was not on purpose?). There was also no air conditioning, so on a hot summer day in Venice it was not very comfortable.

Apart from a few perfumes to smell, there is very little to see or to learn. There were litteraly no costumes (except 2-3 without descriptions) or fabrics. The palace itself was the only thing worth seeing. Plus, the special exhibit of Brigitte Something -- for which they compulsorily charge extra -- was pure merda.

The palace is one floor only. There are about 10 rooms beautifully decorated but with very little in it. The perfume part is interesting but the clothes part is very limited. Man outfits room is very beautiful but not much in other rooms. Very expensive for what it offer I suggest to go only with free ticket or cumulative ones.I was quite disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Nice nice little museum well kept and preserved. The part of perfumes and smells is very interesting (Original) Bel museo piccolo carino ben tenuto e conservato. Molto interessante la parte dei profumi e degli odori

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Renaissance-style building. (Original) Bel Palazzo in stile rinascimentale.

Rude and grumpy staff, rather unimpressive collection and the costume exhibits were closed, yet the horrible woman who sold the tickets to us neglected to tell us that and then refused to refund us once we’d been around the small, unimpressive part that was open. Avoid this place like the plague, don’t waste your money.

I would not recommend this museum. It needs a refresh. I came here after so many excellent experiences in other museums in Venice. I love textiles and perfume, but came away with no better understanding of either of these areas. The exhibits are a jumble of dreary items with very little information. During my visit this jumbled feeling was made worse by an intervention of contemporary art work, which didn't well service either the collection or the new art work. Plus, they have horrible scents in each room. I don't know how the guards can stand being in there all day. They need to hire a curator to make something of this place. Take a walk, go anywhere else, don't go to this museum!

Lovely Palazzo with great art and interactive items for this important trading family of Venice! Worthwhile to see!!

Came for the private event, but had a chance to look around a bit. Impressive. I will definitely come back for a more detailed review

The mocenigo palace is one of the many palaces in Venice to visit. Although there are high contrasts in the reviews, sometimes because of the modern art installations trying to contrast with the palace, I must say that I enjoyed my visit. It is dedicated to costumes and perfumes with some interactive possibilities to smell, for example, the basic ingredients of ancient perfumes. When I visited, there were indeed some modern art installations where it could help to give some explenation on the concept as it was not always easy to understand. On the other hand it didn't bother me as the grandeur of the palace and its interior are wurthwile the visit.

Wonderful museum about perfume making. The rooms look amazing ! Greatly recommend if you're in the area!

Not worth the price. Rude ppl. Never waste your time

(Translated by Google) An interesting exposition of period clothes and antique furniture, there are also short-term exhibitions in the museum, we were lucky enough to have an exhibition of perfumes. But the tour of the halls and their equipment is worth it. (Original) Zajímavá expozice dobových oděvů a starožitného nábytku, v muzeu probíhají i krátkodobé výstavy, my jsme měli štěstí na výstavu parfémů. Už jen samotná prohlídka sálů a jejich zařízení ale stojí za to.

It is worth visiting if you have the card that has the museums of Venice for €40. Otherwise, it is a palace like many others.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum, full of details on fashion and the aristocratic culture of the Venetian Republic. (Original) Museo interessante, ricco di particolari sulla moda e sulla cultura aristocratica della Repubblica Veneziana.

(Translated by Google) The house of a family who were functionaries of perfumes in Venice. Not much walking there. In the exhibition there is ancient clothing, an exhibition of perfumes which is the main attraction (you can smell all the perfumes) there is also a detailed explanation in English, and some of the lineage family furniture and paintings. Entrance 8 Euros - it seems possible with Venice PASS to get some easy discount. Visiting time in my opinion about 45 minutes is enough. I think a little expensive entrance, but the place is still very nice and quiet (not very popular) so Amos in other places here quiet. There is free WIFI in place, and clean toilets. It is allowed to take pictures without flash. (Original) בית של משפחה שהיו עסקנים של בשמים בונציה . לא הרבה הליכה לשם . בתצוגה שם ביגוד עתיק , תערוכת בשמים שזו האטרקציה העיקרית (אפשר להריח את כל הבשמים) יש הסבר מפורט גם באנגלית , וקצת משושלת המשפחה ריהוט וציורים. כניסה 8 יורו -כנראה שאפשר עם ונציה PASS לקבל איזו הנחה קלה. זמן ביקור לדעתי כ 45 דקות מספיק. לדעתי כניסה קצת יקרה ,אך עדיין המקום מאד נחמד ושקט (לא פופלרי במיוחד) אז שעמוס במקומות אחרים פה שקט. יש במקום WIFI חופשי ,ושרותים נקיים. מותר לצלם ללא פלאש .

(Translated by Google) One of the beautiful historic buildings in Venice is the Palazzo Mocenigo. Information on this important building can be found as early as 1500. It was the Mocenigo family who renovated the palace in the early 17th century. Alvise Nicolò Mocenigo bequeaths it to the Municipality of Venice in 1945. In 1985 the palace will become the Museum of the Palazzo Mocenigo and the Study Center for the History of Textile and Costume, with important documents in its Library. In favor of the dynamism that can be given to such a precious site, it counts with educational activities, conferences, there are 5 rooms dedicated to the Perfume in a sensorial experience. (Original) Uno dei bellissimi palazzi storici di Venezia è il Palazzo Mocenigo. Informazioni su questo importante edificio si trovano già nel 1500. Fu la famiglia Mocenigo a ristrutturare il palazzo agli inizi del XVII secolo. Alvise Nicolò Mocenigo lo lascia in eredità al Comune di Venezia nel 1945. Nel 1985 il palazzo diventerà Museo del Palazzo Mocenigo e Centro Studi di Storia del Tessuto e del Costume, con importanti documenti nella sua Biblioteca. A favore della dinamicità che si possa dare ad un sito cosi prezioso conta con attività educative, conferenze, ci sono 5 sale dedicate al Profumo in una esperienza sensoriale.

We really enjoyed seeing the history of parfum making. Staff was very friendly in directing us around. It is not a big museum but if you have the museum pass it is worth to visit. There are not so many costumes on display but there was a nice room with overcoats. The films explaining the parfum history were very informative.

(Translated by Google) The Mocenigo museum is a smaller museum than the other association MUVE and therefore not much we can offer to the visitor, but at the same time, it is little but very good and especially well taken care of! I put 3 stars because in my opinion, the museum has some IMBARIAN TIMETABLE. I hope that my review can be a constructive criticism, in order to improve this gap. (Original) Il museo Mocenigo è un museo minore, rispetto agli altri dell’associazione MUVE e quindi ha poca roba da poter offrire al visitatore, ma allo stesso tempo, è poca ma molto buona e soprattutto ben curata! Ho messo 3 stelle perché a parere mio, il museo ha degli ORARI IMBARAZZANTI. Spero che la mia recensione possa essere una critica costruttiva, al fine di migliorare questa lacuna.

(Translated by Google) Interesting, visit if you go with time and have acquired the CityPass. It looks fast. (Original) Interesante, visitar si vais con tiempo y habéis adquirido la CityPass. Se ve rápido.

(Translated by Google) Unexpected: collection of perfumes and olfactory fragrances available to visitors, embroidered waistcoats, vintage clothes embroidered on silks and now very rare velvets, all in an eighteenth-century mansion furnished and illuminated as at the time. Murano glass chandeliers are so beautiful that they leave you breathless, plus they do justice to female beauty (the spots do it much less). Moreover in the olfactory you can know the essences, their origin, their combinations. The corner of the Merchant of Venice is an opportunity to treat yourself to an unusual perfume in Murano bottles, at an affordable price. Don't leave anything to chance, it's all very beautiful and elegant. As always or almost the closing time is scandalous, especially in summer: 17 and in winter it will get worse ... and say that culture and beauty are our wealth. (Original) Inaspettato : collezione di profumi ed olfattorio a disposizione dei visitatori,di panciotti ricamati, di abiti d'epoca ricamati su sete e velluti ormai rarissimi, il tutto in una dimora settecentesca arredata ed illuminata come all'epoca. I lampadari in vetro di Murano sono talmente belli da lasciare senza fiato ,in più rendono giustizia alla bellezza femminile ( gli spot lo fanno molto meno). In più nell'olfattorio si possono conoscere le essenze, la loro origine, le loro combinazioni. Il corner del Merchant of Venice è l'occasione per regalarsi un profumo fuori dal comune in boccette di Murano ,ad un prezzo accessibile . Non lasciate nulla al caso, é tutto molto bello ed elegante. Come sempre o quasi l"orario di chiusura è scandaloso, soprattutto in estate : le 17 e in inverno peggiorerà...e dire che la cultura e la bellezza sono la nostra ricchezza.

(Translated by Google) A museum that is worth a visit. Inside the building you can find both the history of the Mocenigo and all the costumes of the era. All in Venetian style of the eighteenth century with references to Murano glass. Furthermore there is a whole part concerning spices and perfumes. All very interesting. (Original) Un museo che merita una visita. all'Interno del palazzo si può trovare sia la storia dei Mocenigo che tutta la parte dei costumi dell'epoca. Tutto in stile veneziano del settecento con richiami anche ai vetri di Murano . Inoltre vi è tutta una parte riguardante le spezie e i profumi. Il tutto molto interessante.

Unfortunately the ‘interactive digital’ museum exhibits (i.e. videos on screens) were all not working when I visited this week. The collection is small and somewhat in need of either proper lighting or some restoration. I was in and out in 15 minutes - head in if you have a Museum Pass & like embroidered waistcoats - not if you’re looking for detailed explanations or a good example of a canal house.

Very nice museum if you want to see a palazzo from the inside. There is exhibition devoted to perfume history inside, some things you can even smell

The place is quite small but it has a lot of charm. It has the history of perfume and you can actually smell them in on the rooms. No queue for it and you can visit it using the 11 museum pass.

Wonderful museum that is housed in an incredible palace. Not only are there perfumes to smell and costumes to see, you can admire the historic, and original, wall and ceiling coverings as well as the centuries old paintings. The Merchant of Venice exhibition was interesting and entertaining also. Well worth the €10 entry.

Museum for perfume lover. History, how it’s made, raw material and glass bottles.

Small but informative museum. Situated in the "piano nobile", you can explore the different rooms and salons with lots of the original furniture and paintings. The history comes alive with puppets wearing historical costumes. In every room you find informations in Italian, French and English, as well as benches or chairs in many of the rooms, so that you can rest and enjoy the athmosphere. Large collection of vests with all kinds of embroidery. Very interesting was the part about the history of perfume with a very informative short film (also in English) and lots of samples to smell and compare. We went one hour before closing and had plenty of time, only the museum shop was already closed. Strong recomendation for kids, even our teenagers loved it! Very short walk from Vaporetto San Stae.

Uno esempio di palazzo con bellissime tappezzerie

We were the first visitors at 10 am. Beautiful palace with a different parfum in every room and also some old clothes. Nice to visit!

It houses a more modest collection and exhibits less than the other San Stae counterparts but it's still worth a visit because the perfume museum is so curious.

Most rooms had a scent with it as part of a temporary exhibition. There was also perfume smelling stations and I discovered which smells I like.

We thought the museum housed a textile collection as indicated in its name. However, it’s just a dull palace. There are various exhibitions on display not always related to textiles, so before buying a ticket, make sure you understand what the exhibition is exactly about. We were disappointed.

Not a huge space but well planned for exhibitions and access. The perfume focus in the main floor is extensive and quite encompassing. Very creative wedge of galleries presented a quirky view of collection of objects related to the perfume barons. Good stop in central Venice and easily accessible from San Stae vaporetto dock.

A great little museum, that we only visited because we had an hour to spare and it was near our hotel. But we’re so glad we did! The art and matching aroma in each of the rooms made for a very interesting exhibition and we enjoyed the interactive nature of trying to guess the smell

It was nice, especially the perfume section.

Rather confusing exhibition with not enough info.. a guard that was very annoying and looking like i came to steal ,also not letting me going in my ditection even if the museum waa of course almost empty. Let visitors breathe and dont molest them

Great little museum to visit if you want to see how the Venetian nobility lived in their prime. From perfume to fashion, you'll understand how the high Venetians functioned everyday. Definitely recommended, even if it is a little hard to locate.

At first we thought that this place in not worth visiting, because we have seen so many in the Doge palace. But we were wrong! You should definitely go there. They have a room with parfumes and you are free to try them

One of the best museums I have ever been.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum on the history of perfume and costumes of Venice. We learn many things including the history of the creation of perfume in the world. Very interesting 10th adults and 7.5e adults. Included in the museum pass VENEZIAUNICA (Original) Très beau musée sur l'histoire du parfum et des costumes de Venise.

(Translated by Google) We are the school that organized us to visit the ancient economy of Venice. The staff introduced us to many practices such as perfumes, such as the trade of ancient Venice...

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Mocenigo was linked to the city of Venice by Alvise Nicolò Mocenigo in 1945. The last descendant of the family and intended the palace to be used "as an art gallery, to supplement Museo Correr". In 1985, the palace was designated as a museum and study center for the history of fabrics and costumes. The museum contains collections of textiles and costumes, mainly from the Correr, Guggenheim and Cini collections, as well as Palazzo Grassi. Palazzo Mocenigo also has a library on the first floor that covers the history of costumes, fabrics and fashion, especially from the eighteenth century. (Original) Palazzo Mocenigo a fost legat de orașul Veneția de către Alvise Nicolò Mocenigo în 1945. ultimul descendent al familiei și a intenționat ca palatul să fie folosit „ca galerie de artă, pentru a suplimenta Museo Correr ”. În 1985, palatul a fost desemnat ca muzeu și centru de studiu al istoriei țesăturilor și costumelor. Muzeul conține colecții de articole textile și costume, în principal din colecțiile Correr, Guggenheim și Cini, precum și Palazzo Grassi . Palazzo Mocenigo are și o bibliotecă la primul etaj care acoperă istoria costumelor, țesăturilor și modei , în special din secolul al XVIII-lea.Palatul a fost frescat de artiști din secolul al XVIII-lea, printre care Giambattista Canal , Giovanni Scajaro și Jacopo Guarana

(Translated by Google) A museum, usually rarely visited, that is worth seeing and discovering. You can also smell various perfumes in a special room, fantastic for children and also for parents. (Original) Un museo, solitamente poco visitato, che vale la pena di vedere e scoprire. Si possono anche annusare vari profumi in una apposita sala, fantastico per i ragazzi e anche per i genitori.

The "palazzo mocenigo" is beautiful and it deserves the visit on its own. It really conveys the feeling of what was life for Venitian patricians. The museum of perfurmes is interesting (but very incomplete) for a Venitian perspective on the subject. They do an excellent job at hosting temporary exhibitions interspersed with the permanent collection.

I agree with what previous people said. More of a tourist trap kind of museum. I was probably in the wrong one (had heard about an interesting fashion museum), it’s a different one. Even the section on perfume wasn’t informative and I was charged an extra 2 € for some photographies of an artist of Meran that are spread throughout some rooms. With that in mind it’s a bit of a nuisance that my online ticket could not be scanned and it took them very long to find it. Don’t bother to go there!

(Translated by Google) Well-made restoration at the height of the established reputation of the Italian art school. To visit. It intrigues and impresses the scarce fame of such beauty in Venice, if there was any need. (Original) Restauro ben realizzato all'altezza della fama consolidata della scuola di arte italiana. Da visitare. Incuriosisce e lascia colpiti la scarsa fama di tale bellezza a Venezia, se c'è ne fosse stato bisogno.

Extremely rude staff in ticket office. Can’t speak English well and when we could not understand her, she got impatient and scolded us in front of other visitors. It was one of my worst experience in the whole of Italy. Totally ruined my journey in Venice. The museum is a tourist trap. It has nothing much to offer and totally not worth the money. The modern art/ photography doesn’t compliment the history and culture of Venice at all.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful trip to a magnificent Venetian palace and the history of costume and fabric, as well as a discovery of scents and essence. Really worth a visit. (Original) Bellissimo viaggio in un magnifico palazzo veneziano e nella storia del costume e della stoffa, nonché una scoperta ai profumi e le essenza. Merita davvero una visita.

(Translated by Google) A centuries-old decoration! (Original) Многовековое украшение !

Fairly forgettable paintings and furniture. On the plus side, the rooms actually have accessories and "things" that make them feel a little closer to life than other "clinical" museums.

(Translated by Google) We visited a beautiful museum inside a historical building. The visit made us fall into the reality of the Republic of Venice during its millennial history. We saw immense rooms, fabrics, clothes and perfumes guided by a prepared and passionate guide. (Original) Abbiamo visitato un museo bellissimo all'interno di un palazzo storico. La visita ci ha fatto calare nella realtà della Repubblica di Venezia durante la sua storia millenaria. Abbiamo visto sale immense, tessuti, vestiti e profumi guidati da una guida preparata e appassionata.

In this palazzo you can touch the history. Probably the best place that I remember on my last trip to Venice. Located away from crowded streets. Very beautiful interiors, incredible Murano glass chandeliers, beautiful paintings, velvet and antique mirrors. In one of the rooms you can smell the aroma oils and imagine what the ancient perfumery was like. Palazzo is an island of calm in the middle of Venice. This place makes you feel like a real princess. Thank you for the good memories that will stay with me forever.
