Baldassare Longhena's grand baroque palace is the beautifully restored home of two impressive collections. The Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna has works by 19th- and 20th-century artists such as Klimt, Kandinsky, Matisse, and Miró. It also has a collection of representative works from Venice's Biennale art show that amounts to a panorama of 20th-century art. The Museo Orientale has a small but striking collection of Oriental porcelains, musical instruments, arms, and armor.
