Ca' Pesaro

Ca' Pesaro Review

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 pride of the Museo Orientale is its collection of Japanese art, and especially armor and weapons, of the Edo period (1603-1868). It also has a small but striking collection of Chinese and Indonesian porcelains and musical instruments.
