Guided tours for all blind, visually impaired, and sighted people in an inclusive manner.
Thanks to the tactile guided tours, the Gypsotheca Antonio Canova Museum makes its artistic heritage accessible to all blind, visually impaired, and sighted individuals in an inclusive way: a journey that allows one to understand the creative process of the Sculptor through the sculptures housed within the atelier on the ground floor of Casa Canova, now an exhibition venue included in the museum complex of Possagno. Visitors will be accompanied by our educators on a discovery of the materials used by the Artist. The tactile exploration includes an assisted visit and the opportunity to learn about the reproduction of 4 busts that illustrate the formative process followed by Canova and two sculptures that replicate the beautiful Venere Italica.
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 in the most important museums in the world were cast.
In the Birthplace, the artist's paintings, drawings, engravings, and personal effects are kept.
