The Fortuny Museum (Italian: Museo Fortuny) is an art museum in San Marco, central Venice, Italy.

The museum is located in the Palazzo Fortuny.[1] The Catalan painter Mariano Fortuny (aka Marià Fortuny i Marsal, 18381874) and his son, who became a fashion designer, also called Mariano Fortuny (18711949), lived here after the family moved to Venice in 1889. The museum presents paintings, fabrics, and Fortunys lamps[2] on the first floor together with the history of the palazzo and its atelier on the second floor. There is also a library. The building still has features created by Fortuny. The working environment is represented through wall-hangings, paintings, and lamps.

The Fortuny Museum was donated to the city of Venice in 1956 by Mariano Fortuny's widow, Henriette, after his death. The museum is run by the Fondazione Musei Civici Venezia (MUVE).
