Kitaichi Venetian Art Museum
Experience Venetian Elegance in Otaru
Experience the opulent lifestyle of Venetian nobility through a remarkable collection of 3,000 glass masterpieces, displayed within a carefully recreated Italian palace.
Established in 1988, the museum was inspired by Italy’s historic Palazzo Grassi and preserves the thousand-year tradition of Venetian glassmaking. Inside, glowing chandeliers and authentic period furnishings surround you, evoking the refined elegance of historic European culture—right here in Hokkaido.
The museum’s greatest appeal is its immersive, multi-sensory glimpse into aristocratic life. From the smooth textures and intricate designs of delicate glassware to the serene atmosphere of the galleries, every detail invites you into another era. The popular “Dress Experience” and “Carnival Experience” offer a chance to don elegant costumes and step into a world of high society.
Whether a highlight of your Otaru journey or a peaceful escape from everyday life, this museum offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Venetian elegance without leaving Hokkaido.
