Discover the art of Canova with the whole family.
Every first Saturday of the month and every Sunday at 4:00 PM, the Museum offers a guided tour aimed at families who want to embark on the discovery of the wonderful world of Antonio Canova, his art, and the stories that make up the magnificent Gypsotheca, which houses the original plaster models of the works of the great sculptor from Possagno.
Our expert guides, every first Saturday of the month and every Sunday, will accompany families, with particular attention to the younger visitors, through the rooms of Antonio Canova's birthplace, introducing the materials that the Sculptor used, recounting the myths and legends that populate the Museum and the splendid Gypsotheca. The tour is aimed at the whole family; therefore, children must be accompanied.
Payment for the ticket and guided tour can be conveniently made on site.
To learn more… The Gypsotheca Antonio Canova Museum in Possagno is the place that preserves the historical and artistic legacy of the greatest sculptor of the neoclassical period.
The museum complex, one of the first in Veneto, consists of the Birthplace and the Gypsotheca, located in the original basilica and in the extension designed by Carlo Scarpa, which houses the original plaster models from which the marbles that are now found in the most important museums in the world have been created.
In the Birthplace are housed the artist's paintings, drawings, engravings, and personal effects.
