Gallerie dell' Accademia
The Gallerie dell'Accademia is a museum gallery of pre-19th-century art. It is housed in the Scuola della Carità on the south bank of the Grand Canal. It was originally the gallery of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, the art academy of Venice, from which it became independent in 1879, and after which the Ponte dell'Accademia and the Accademia boat landing station for the vaporetto water bus are named. The two institutions remained in the same building until 2004, when the art school moved to the Ospedale degli Incurabili.
