Besides raising awareness on their corporate values, the partner companies will have the chance to meet, suggest initiatives, and take part to the exclusive events organized by the Museum.

Canova. Buy a Masterpiece with us
A new ambitious project for the Museo Gypsotheca Antonio Canova: A fundraising campaign aimed at acquiring Giorgione’s Self-Portrait by Canova.
The success of the campaign will allow us to:
● Make the painting available to the public, as it is now owned privately.
● Enrich the museum’s heritage. The museum is the heart of Canova’s historical and
artistic memory, and we wish to welcome this painting home.
● Contextualize the painting within Canova’s artistic journey.
The Museum believes this campaign to be particularly relevant for social, historical, artistic, and economic reasons. In addition to public and private institutions, the Museum will involve corporate and single donors.
For the most generous donations, the Museum has implemented a series of rewards that both single and corporate donors can take advantage of. For more information contact:

A Museum without Barriers
“A Museum without Barriers – open doors, open eyes, open mind”, is the fundraising campaign promoted by Fondazione Canova to make the museum more accessible, more inclusive and open to diverse communities.
With this campaign we aim to both guarantee all visitors equal accessibility conditions and to reformat the traditional museum visit as an inclusive experience with full participation to the different activities offered. Thus, guaranteeing an optimal experience for all. Specifically, we intend to:
Break down the main architectural barriers inside the museum.
Create, inside the museum, a space where younger visitors can freely experience the tools and materials used by Canova and develop their creativity. A space where the key word is “Touch!”
Guarantee the well-being of visually impaired visitors and accompany them, with tactile tours and captions in braille, to a visit that best meets their needs.
The campaign ended the 31st of January 2020. A total of 135 donors helped us reach the sum of 12.233 €, that was entirely devolved to this cause.
