The official name of the building is the palace of St. Sophia. The building was built in the XV century. Architects Bartolomeo and Giovanni Bona commissioned one of the most powerful Venetian families. Gold leaf was used for exterior decoration, but to this day it has not been preserved. At the end of the XIX century, the mansion was acquired by Baron Giorgio Franchetti. The aristocrat collected a large collection of paintings, which together with the house went to the state after his death.

Lovely museum with beautiful art and stunning views of the grand canal. No need to pre book as it was very quiet but definitely worth a visit

Decent museum with a good collection, but but half the collection is under restauration with no warning or discount given, which is a bit disapppointing.

Nothing special and too pricy. I expected great interiors but nothing of a kind.. not bad gallery but too expensive for content. There's much to see in Venice and this building is good enough from other bank of river
