The Gallerie dell'Accademia is a museum gallery of pre-19th-century art in Venice, northern Italy. It holds the main collection of Venetian art in the world, including masterpieces by Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Giorgione, Tintoretto, Veronese and Canaletto. It also houses three major paintings by Hieronymus Bosch.
The museum, with its painted wooden ceilings and the courtyard designed by Andrea Palladio is a work of art in itself. It is housed in a building complex formed by the Scuola della Carità, the Convento dei Canonici Lateranensi and the church of Santa Maria della Carità. The Scuola della Carità was the oldest of the six Scuole Grandi and the building dates back to 1343, though the scuola was formed in 1260. The building of the Convento dei Canonici Lateranensi was designed in 1561 by Andrea Palladio, though it was never fully completed. The facade of Santa Maria della Carità was completed in 1441 by Bartolomeo Bon.
