Palazzo Mocenigo Library

The Library of the Study Centre for the History of Textiles and Costume was set up in 1985 and is housed in Palazzo Mocenigo at San Stae. This rich collection of monographs, periodicals and fashion plates all comes from the former collection of the International Centre for Arts and Costume at Palazzo Grassi, which was acquired by the Venice City Council in 1981. The sizeable collection of books dedicated to the history of textiles and costume make this a very useful instrument for study and research.
Re-opened to the public in 1986 after re-organisation, the library is now kept up to date by the acquisition of the most significant and authoritative publications in this sector, both books and periodicals.

Opening days and hours:
 Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.30 am to 5 pm; Wednesdays and Fridays, from 8.30 am to 1.30 pm.
The Library is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and public holidays, on December 25th, on January 1st and May 1st.
