    The Museo diocesano d'arte sacra Sant'Apollonia in Venice, Italy, is a small but noteworthy museum dedicated to sacred art. Located in the former Benedictine convent of Sant'Apollonia, it houses a collection of religious artifacts and artworks from the 14th to the 18th centuries.

The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and liturgical objects, offering insight into the religious history and artistic traditions of Venice. While some guests find the museum's scope limited, others value its focused curation and the chance to see works by notable Venetian artists. The museum's location in a less touristy area of Venice adds to its appeal for those seeking a more authentic experience. However, some visitors note that the lack of extensive information in languages other than Italian can be a drawback for international tourists.
