Ca' Rezzonico is a museum of 18th Century Venice.
It is a home on the Grand Canal, and grand it is! The floor you enter on is where items would have been stored for the business the families that originally lived there were in. It opens on to the canal so things could easily be delivered.
Stair way up to the main floor.
The grand floor for receiving guests and entertaining.
