Palazzo Fortuny Venezia

Palazzo Fortuny is one of Venice’s most enchanting and offbeat gems. More than just a museum, it’s a tribute to the life and imagination of the legendary artist and designer Mariano Fortuny.

Set inside the stunning Gothic palace that Fortuny once called home, the museum feels less like a formal gallery and more like you’ve stepped into a busy creative laboratory. This was his personal studio, where all his passions—from fashion and painting to photography and stage lighting—live together under one roof.

As you wander through the rooms, you’ll find his world-famous textiles and those iconic pleated Delphos dresses tucked among paintings and theatrical experiments. The moody, layered displays are kept just as they were, preserving the true spirit of his original workshop.

What makes Palazzo Fortuny so special is its cozy, almost secret atmosphere. It’s a place where art, craft, and invention all blur together, giving you a personal look into the mind of one of the 20th century’s most fascinating creative thinkers.
