The beautiful Palazzo Mocenigo was once the 18th Century home of the Mocenigo family. They were one of the most influential families of the Serenissima, who gave seven doges to the Republic. The house has now been turned into a museum with many displays of textiles, books and furniture as well as costumed figurines which are dressed in period clothing. The building also houses the Centre for the Study of History of Fabrics and the Dresses Library. Admission to the home and to the museum is free.
