Ca'Pesaro - by jacques cordier on Google





Description
The Ca' Pesaro is a Baroque marble palace built in the late 17th century on the edge of the Grand Canal in Venice that houses a Modern Art and an Oriental Art Museums. The place was commissioned by the wealthy Pesaro family and designed by architect Baldassarre Longhena. It stands out for the columns and arches of its first and second floors. The "International Gallery of Modern Art" includes collections of 19th and 20th century paintings, sculptures and graphic art from a mix of Venetian/Italian and international artists. The Oriental Art Museum contains items brought back from Asia in the late 19th century, mainly from Japan, China and Indonesia.
Access & Transport
Address: Santa Croce 2076 - 30135 Venice Vaporettos 1, A, N stop at San Stae, just 100m away and the Rialto bridge is a 10mins walk away
Instructions & Recommendations
If you walk 5mins to Riva de l'Oglio, you will have the best vantage point on another famous palazzo across the canal: Ca' d'Oro (Palazzo Santa Sofia) The Cannaregio neighbourhood with its Ghetto Ebraico is also only 1 vaporetto stop away (alight at S. Marcuola Casino)
Environmental & Social
We deem this activity marginally negative from an environmental standpoint (electricity consumption). It helps spread the arts and preserve the city's architectural heritage.
Conclusion
The combination of the palazzo, modern art and Asian art makes for a unique proposition - nothing spectacular per se, but an excellent option for those looking for a cultural activity and a change from Italian Renaissance paintings.
Key positive
Wide spectrum of artistic movements and items by some famous artists
Not crowded
Key negative
Lack of masterpieces
Suitability
Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. Children under 12yrs old may not find the museum very interesting
