Ca' Pesaro

Tired of Venice's one-two punch of baroque and Byzantine? Check out the two museums housed in this late Renaissance palazzo on the Grand Canal. The first collection is the Museo d'Arte Moderna (Museum of Modern Art), which houses works -- most of them bought during Venice's own Biennale over the years -- by the likes of Chagall, Kandinsky, Klimt, Miró, Henry Moore, Umberto Boccioni, Morandi, and Filippo De Pisis.

Up on the top level, also partially closed, is the Museo d'Arte Orientale, a collection of mostly Japanese artifacts, but also Chinese, Javanese, Siamese (Thai), Cambodian, and Indonesian pieces. Rumors that this collection may eventually move, perhaps to the Palazzo Marcello, have persisted for several years, but for the moment nothing has happened.

Another Cumulative Ticket -- One ticket covers entrance to both the Ca' d'Oro and the Ca Pesaro for 5.50€; a cumulative ticket including the Accademia costs 11€.
