Palazzo Grassi - François Pinault Collection
Palazzo Grassi, from 1772, was the last patrician palace built along the Grand Canal. Over the years it changed ownership many times until 1951 when it became the International Center of Arts and Costume, organizing many international exhibitions that followed until 1983 when, purchased by Fiat, it was used as an exhibition venue by the architect Gae Aulenti. In 2005 it was bought by the François Pinault Foundation. After a total refurbishment, it opened its doors to the public in 2006 offering major temporary exhibitions and permanent displays of its rich collection of contemporary and modern art.Punta della Dogana
The Punta della Dogana, as it appears today, was completed in 1682 and served as the structure of the Dogana Mare until 1980. In the early 2000s the municipality of Venice launched a contract for its renovation and in 2007 the Pinault Foundation was awarded the works, immediately entrusted to Tadao Ando who had already renovated Palazzo Grassi. The opening was in 2009.MAP: HOW TO GET THERE - HOURS - TICKETS
