Ca’ Pesaro is an imposing marble building overlooking the Grand Canal, and inside it houses two of Venice’s most important museums: the International Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Oriental Art.

The Ca’ d’Oro, a Venetian palace overlooking the Grand Canal, houses the gallery of an important collector, Giorgio Franchetti, to whom we also owe the restoration of the palace. In addition to having left us a collection that includes works by leading artists such as Titian and Mantegna, we owe the preservation of the building itself to this patron.
