Visit Responsibly
Piazza San Marco is one of Venice's most crowded public spaces -- entering the museum from the square rather than lingering to photograph the arcades during the busiest midday hours eases pressure on the piazza itself.

Museo Correr sits on the west side of Piazza San Marco, directly reachable on foot from the San Zaccaria or San Marco vaporetto stops.
A single combined ticket typically covers Museo Correr, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, the Biblioteca Marciana's monumental rooms, and the Doge's Palace, and is worth planning for if visiting more than one.
