Gallerie dell'Accademia — Attraction in Venice

Certainly a beautiful building and also a museum which offers a comprehensive overview of Venetian painting up to the 19th century. Could benefit from better lighting.

Unfortunately, some rooms are not accessible, some expected paintings and sketches are not on display. There are other exhibitions in Venice, e.g. the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, which I think are more impressive.

Due to C. the number of visitors, also per room, is very limited, in some rooms only 1- 2, despite the fact that masks are compulsory, so long queues formed outside.

Surprisingly, in vaporetti it seems okay to have 30-50 people in the same amount of space where in museums and other attractions it only allows for a handful, such as 1-2 or 5 at most, causing long lines to form outside, without masks and close together - go figure...

It was badly communicated that one could buy tickets online. Even many Italian visitors were not aware of this.

On one hand, paying tourists should come to Venice now, on the other hand, the opening times are partly very arbitrary and there are unnecessary long queues in the blazing sun $$$.

Sicherlich ein schönes Gebäude und auch Museum, das einen umfassenden Überblick über die venezianische Malerei bis ins 19. Jahrhundert bietet.

Leider sind einige Räume nicht zugänglich, einige erwartete Gemälde und Skizzen nicht zu sehen. Es gibt in Venedig andere Ausstellungen, z.b. die Scuola Grande di San Rocco, die meines Erachtens beeindruckender sind.

Die Besucherzahl, auch pro Raum, trotz Maskenpflicht ist begrenzt, wodurch sich draußen Schlangen bilden. Es wurde schlecht kommuniziert, dass man online Karten kaufen konnte. Auch vielen italienischen Besuchern war dies nicht bewusst.

Überraschenderweise scheint es in Vaporetti in Ordnung zu sein, 30-50 Personen auf dem gleichen Platz unterzubringen, der in Museen und anderen Attraktionen nur eine Handvoll, 1-2 oder höchstens 5, zulässt, was draußen zu unnötigen und langen Schlangen führt, eng beieinander stehend, meist ohne Masken - verstehe das wer will.

Auf der einen Seite sollen zahlende Touristen jetzt nach Venedig kommen, auf der anderen Seite sind die Öffnungszeiten teilweise doch sehr willkürlich und es gibt nicht notwendige lange Schlangen in der...

Beautiful museum full of rich history. 5 stars for all the pieces and the building. 1 star for the disgusting staff. One of them insulted us just because we asked for tokens for the locker room to put our things away and the gentleman working there made a gesture with his hand saying we were stupid and said we were dumb too for asking questions.

This was right after paying as well. I guess in their eyes we are just stupid tourists. It's possible they had to deal with a lot of horrible costumers, but it gives them no excuse to treat us how they did. And I got some information for the staff here, If you hate tourists that much then don't work in a place that will attract tourists and go find another job you enjoy. At one point two staff members were standing in front of a piece and I just wanted to see it but they refused to move and kept taking amongst themselves. I guess even after you pay it's forbidden to look at the art.

I really don't enjoy leaving a review like this but it was just so unessary for them to be so hateful and aggressive towards us. Even when we asked other questions just about general information they rolled their eyes and didn't even answer our questions and continued to be angry with us. And in top of all of this we were smiling and being polite.

Otherwise I loved visiting here except for the staff. This was the only place so far during my stay in Venice where the staff in an establishment acted like this which was very surprising cause it's a big museum and every where else people have been so lovely. I don't have much hope for the rude staff here to change but everyone can if you just made an effort.

All that being said we managed to find one nice staff member near the exit. Who answered one of our questions...

Very big and full with many paintings with interesting stories in the background

Sculpture section is located before exit
