Which museum in Venice?

Ca' Rezzonico for the Venetian painters Guardi, Tiepolo and Pietro Longhi.
Pietro Longhi's small paintings offer a wonderful glimpse of everyday 18th-century patrician life in Venice.
You can also find Longhi at Palazzo Querini-Stampalia.

When I'm burnt out on paintings, old coins and pottery shards, I like to go to the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo near the San Stae church (and easily reached by vaporetto). I especially like the period costume and old furniture displays there.

I suggest the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, decorated in almost every inch by paintings of Tintoretto. Very near is the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, which has many works of art inside, including a statue of John the Baptist by Donatello, and an Assumption by Titian. You could easily visit both in several hours.

I'd also recommend the Jewish Museum in the Ghetto, especially the guided tours of the beautiful synagogues.
You might not know that the synagogues were there. They are hidden behind plain facades with heavy doors
