The Diocesan Museum
With the issuance of the patriarchal degree in 1976, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art began its activity, putting on exhibit pieces of artwork that had either been removed from the numerous Venetian churches which by that time were no longer open for worship or that were undergoing restoration thanks to the determination of Monsignor Gino Bortolan - and were therefore closed to visitors.
Now, thirty years later, the Diocesan Museum has become a cultural institution for the Diocese, as a home for both permanent and temporary exhibits and other cultural events.
