"The building that houses Museo della Musica is worthy of a visit in its own right: the Church of San Maurizio, a Venetian church with history stretching back to the 10th century, and with Gothic and Renaissance touches. It has recently been transformed into a tribute to liuteria: the Italian art of instrument-making. This niche collection explores the classical era of Italian violin and covers 300 years, back to the beginning of the golden era of stringed instruments in 18th-century Venice." - Jenna Scatena
