Google Arts & Culture
The Museum’s masterpieces are available online
Thanks to the collaboration between the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and the Google Cultural Institute, the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo is now on Google Arts & Culture: an online platform through which audiences from all over the world can access virtual tours, Street View, interactive stories, and high-resolution images of artworks from museum collections, with the aim of democratizing access to culture and promoting its preservation for future generations.
For the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo, online visitors can continue to admire over 30 high-resolution images of some of the most representative works in the collection, including rare textiles, costumes, and sumptuous eighteenth-century garments of exceptional value.
Now, with the help of Street View, they can also explore the museum’s evocative exhibition routes and immerse themselves in a world of furnishings, costumes, garments, and fragrances.
We wear culture
Over 3,000 years of fashion and costume history are brought together in the largest showcase of diverse styles in the new Google project We Wear Culture, available on the Google Arts & Culture platform. The initiative is the result of a collaboration with the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and more than 180 renowned cultural institutions from around the world, from New York to London, from Paris to Tokyo, from São Paulo to Venice.
The Fortuny Museum and the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo are part of the We Wear Culture project, opening the doors of two of Venice’s most precious museums to a global audience and making their treasures accessible. The Fortuny Museum and the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo stand as essential milestones in tracing an “immersive” history of fashion, highlighting the role of creative ingenuity in shaping the language and wearable identity of an entire period in Venetian history.
