Venice and the Ottoman Empire

Venice and the Ottoman Empire explores the relationship between the Republic of Venice (Italy) and the Ottoman Empire (present-day Türkiye), two superpowers in the Mediterranean, over four centuries (1400-1800) and in multiple spheres: artistic, culinary, diplomatic, economic, political and technological. Featuring more than 150 works of art in media including glass, paintings, prints, metalwork and textiles, the exhibition draws from the varied and vast collections of Venice’s storied civic museums.
