Murano Island: A World of Transparent Glass Art Illuminated by Venetian Light

Murano Island (Murano Island, Venezia, Italy) is a glass art haven just a 20-minute water bus ride from Venice's main island 🚤. With a glassmaking tradition dating back to the 13th century, the island is dotted with workshops and galleries where this craft thrives.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by rows of glass workshops, with sparkling glass pieces reflecting the sunlight. In that moment, you realize, "This isn't just glass; it's art." The fusion of fire, light, and the artisans' skilled hands creates what is truly 'authentic Murano glass' 🔥💎.

While you can find Murano glass pieces being sold on the streets of Venice, visiting Murano Island to purchase them feels much more meaningful! We even bought a soy sauce dish during our visit.

After exploring the workshops, make sure to visit the Museo del Vetro (Venetian Glass Museum). From ancient glass to modern art pieces, the exhibits showcase stunning works where colors blend seamlessly into transparency 🩵. The streets are lined with charming shops offering earrings, necklaces, and other delightful glass crafts, making time fly as you browse through them.
