A must see when in Venice.. take a ferry, costs about 19 for a two way ticket. The island where the museum is located has many shops and cafes you can just walk beside the main canal which is nice, and at the end is the museum.

One of the small civic museums with a collection of the famous Murano glass. Of particular interest is the dinner table set, shaped like a garden which is spectacular. The main display room is also very large and beautifully painted with a fresco. There are also some archaeological finds here as well.
