Attraction · Venice, Italy
No traveler has reviewed it yet. Yours would be the first on this page, and the bad parts are the useful parts.

The state gallery of Venetian art, in the former Scuola della Carita and adjoining convent at the southern foot of the Accademia bridge, holding Venetian painting from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.
Because Venetian painting is the thing Venice actually produced, and this is where it is. Giorgione's Tempest, Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese's Feast in the House of Levi and Leonardo's Vitruvian Man are all here.
A first-rank collection at 20 euros, with 2 euros for EU citizens aged 18 to 25 and free entry for under 18s. It is quiet in a city where nothing else is. Buying online lets you skip the ticket office queue.
Labelling is thin and assumes prior knowledge. Twenty euros stings in a city that charges for everything. Online sales run through a single authorised operator, so anything else you find online is not the official channel.
Anyone with an interest in Renaissance painting, EU citizens aged 18 to 25 who effectively get it for 2 euros, and any visitor who has had enough of the San Marco crush.
You have one day in Venice and have never been, in which case the city itself and the Basilica come first. Skip it also if you want context and explanation rather than paintings, since the labelling will not provide it.
Buy online through the authorised operator to skip the ticket office. Go in the morning while the crowd is at San Marco. If you are an EU citizen aged 18 to 25, bring ID, because the 2 euro rate is worth having the document for.
Full price is 20,00 euros. Young persons who are EU citizens aged 18 to 25 pay 2,00 euros, and under 18s enter free. There are free admission days requiring no booking, and online sales run through a single authorised ticketing operator.
Vaporetto line 1 or 2 to Accademia, which stops at the foot of the bridge outside. It is about a twenty-minute walk from Piazza San Marco across the Accademia bridge.
Dorsoduro, on the south side of the Grand Canal at the Accademia bridge, in the quieter university quarter. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Punta della Dogana are both a short walk east along the same bank.
Two hours for the full collection at a reasonable pace. Ninety minutes if you go straight for the sixteenth century.
Barrier-free entry is on the right side of the museum, on Calle della Carita, with lifts to the first floor and lifting platforms beyond. The route is not complete: between rooms XXII and XXIV on the first floor there are no lifting platforms, which interrupts the accessible route. Worth checking on arrival which sections are reachable that day.
The best-value serious museum in Venice, and the calmest. Go in the morning, buy online, and if you are a young EU citizen the 2 euro rate makes this close to the easiest recommendation on the site.

The Gallerie dell'Accademia charges a full price of 20,00 euros, with reduced admission of 2,00 euros for young persons who are EU citizens aged 18 to 25, and free entry for under 18s. That 2 euro rate is not a typo and it is not a promotion. It is the standard Italian state museum concession, and it makes this one of the cheapest ways in Europe for a young traveller to stand in front of Giorgione, Bellini, Titian…
