Amazing museum that is not so costly to visit. It provides some inpressive examples of Murano glass art and a good brief historical introduction to the evolution of the art form itself and its legacy. Would highly recommend as a good contrast to some of the cheaper shops on the island.

A visiter à Murano! C’est impressionnant comment ils ont façonné le vert.
