Antigua sala de lectura de la biblioteca Marciana. Fue construida por Jacopo Sansovino a mediados del siglo XVI con el objeto de custodiar los manuscritos donados por el Cardenal Bessarione.

A hangulata kiváló.

Absolument superbe ! Il s'agit d'une extension du musée Correr de quelques salles. L'accès se fait justement par le musée Correr. Il arrive que la bibliothèque soit fermé le matin. Si vous avez déjà visité le musée Correr sans avoir eu accès à la bibliothèque, vous pouvez rentrer à nouveau dans le musée de Correr plus tard dans la journée pour refaire la visite et accéder à la bibliothèque.
