Barovier&Toso Museum is located on the top floor of the Palazzo Contarini in Murano, a XVI-century building whose most recent incarnation is that of the world HQ of Barovier&Toso. Some 250 objects are on display in the museum, all of these drawn either from the private collection of Angelo Barovier of that of the Barovier&Toso company.

In addition to the artifacts, the Barovier&Toso Museum makes accessible a vast archive containing photos, drawings and other documents collected over an extended period. Examples include over 22,000 original drawings by Ercole Barovier, a number of catalogues featuring photographs of glass objects, the originals of the traditional "libretti delle composizioni" which provided glassmakers with the necessary ingredients for making glass, as well as a number of other items that testify to the tradition of manufacturing and artistic creation during the period under examination.
