Lazzaretto Nuovo

In 1997,  the island was chosen as a site for the collection of the Venice lagoon’s archeological material and an eco-museum was born.

Workshops include the experience of spending a week on the island, surrounded by history and nature along with open days, special openings, conventions, meetings, performances and more.

The island is open for visits from March to November, for guided visits only.
The visit lasts about two hours. It includes the historical-archeological itinerary of the Lazzaretto Nuovo inside the walls (the museum exhibit inside the Tezon Grande and the open-air archeological digs), as well as the nature walk of the marshlands outside the walls (“The Path of the Barene“).
