Icon Museum
The former Scuolo di San Niccolò dei Greci (Palazzo Flangini), to the left of the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, houses a small but interesting icon museum. Apart from the 14th-18th century icons it also contains richly embroidered liturgical robes and a collection of liturgical objects.
The Palazzo Flangini was built by Longhena in the 17th century.

Museum of Naval History
The Museum of Naval History not only exhibits impressive booty brought back from the numerous maritime wars of the Republic of San Marco, but also uses models, mementos and documents to give an account of shipbuilding and the types of vessels afloat in the period that Venice was a sea power, ending in 1797.
Also on display is a model of the legendary ship of state "Bucintoro". The Doge's sumptuous State galley was burnt out during the 1798 Jacobin Revolution.
