Families at Museum
Guided tours, creative workshops and treasure hunts are just some of the many activities that the Museum offers to all the families and children who every year visit Canova’s birthplace and the Gypsotheca.
Get ready to discover with us the sculptor’s wonderful world, his art and all the stories of the Gypsotheca!
We inform you that restoration works on the XIX century wing of our gypsotheque have just started. This important yard is scheduled to be operating till next October and it will help the structural consolidation and seismic improvement of the building as well as the patrimony digitalization.
Despite the yard, visitors can access both the entry hall and the first bay of this wing, enjoy Scarpa’s extension and the three floors of the Sculptor’s birth house. Guided tours at pre-fixed time slots or customized guided tours can be booked any time to discover the magnificence of Canova’s art and the secrets of our museum complex.
Our trained guides will take families and children, with particular attention to the youngest visitors, through Canova’s birthplace and will show them the materials that the sculptor used, and end with a “Storytime” about the myths that characterise the Museum.
