Ca' Pesaro

Ca' Pesaro

The Ca' Pesaro is a baroque marble palace facing the Grand Canal of Venice. Originally designed by Baldassarre Longhena in mid-17th century, the construction was completed by Gian Antonio Gaspari in 1710. The heavy use of columns contrasts with Longhena's more elegant Ca' Rezzonico Palace.

Museum of Modern Art

It is today the city of Venice's museum of Modern Art, containing paintings or works by Klimt, Bonnard, Chagall, Kandinsky, Klee, Rouault, Matisse, Moore, Morandi, De Chirico, Boccioni and others.

Museum Of Oriental Art

The upper floor is dedicated to the Museo d'Arte Orientale, containing some 30,000 objects, mainly from Japan (armoury, inros, netsukes, paintings by Koryusai, Harunobu, Hokusai, etc.), but also from China and Indonesia. This collection of oriental objects was brought back from a stay in Asia by Henry of Borbone, count of Bardi, at the end of the 19th century, and bequeathed to the Italian state.
