The Empress’ Boudoir

History Of Correr Museum

Since 1922, the Correr Museum has been in St. Mark's Square. It is in the Vincenzo Scamozzi-designed Napoleonic Wing and part of the New Attorney offices, which surround three-quarters of the square. The Napoleonic wing was planned and built when Napoleon was in charge of the kingdom of Italy, from 1806 to 1814. At that time, Venice was a part of the kingdom. In front of the beautiful Byzantine basilica of San Marco, where the church of San Geminiano was present, this wing was built.

The Napoleonic Wing was built in the 19th century, when Austria was in charge of Venice. It was originally meant to be the new ruler's home. It was the official home of the Habsburg court and later became the King of Italy's home in Venice. It has a double monumental facade, an atmospheric portico, a wide staircase, and a luxurious ballroom.

One of the most important things about the Napoleonic Wing is that it was built to be different from the old Doge's Palace, where kings and emperors used to live. This building shows that people in Venice want to start a new part of their history.
