On the island of Murano, the museum is housed in the noble Palazzo Giustinian, formerly the seat of the Bishops of Torcello. The collections are ordered chronologically: in addition to the archaeological section, which includes significant Roman finds between the first and third centuries after Christ, there is the largest historical review of Murano glass, with important pieces produced between the fifteenth and the twentieth century, between whose masterpieces of world renown.
Remarkable is the garden, in which contemporary glass works are often exposed in a particularly suggestive context.

On the island of Burano, the museum is housed in the building of the ancient School of Lace. There are about two hundred rare and precious specimens that document the evolution of this art in Venice from the sixteenth to the twentieth century.
The museum also preserves the archive of the School which, founded by Andriana Marcello in 1872, not only formed generations of lace making a precious and complex art, but was, for a century, an important cultural and entrepreneurial reality of the city.
