Venice

Gallery sights in Venice

  1. A

    Giudecca 795

    Founded to promote local artists of all kinds, this quirky and welcoming gallery displays (and sells) a wide range of works by both established and young artists, most of whom have a strong connection with Venice itself. There is also a shop attached with quirky, Venice-related keepsakes.

    Galleria di Palazzo Cini

    With luck you may get to look at this curious collection of Tuscan intruders. Oddly, the main façade of this 16th-century building looks over the Rio di San Vio rather than the Grand Canal. Spread out over two floors are around 30 works, mostly from the 14th and 15th centuries, including some by Lippi, Piero della Francesca (Madonna col Bambino), Botticelli (Il Giudizio di Paride, or The Judgment of Paris) and Beato Angelico.

    Galleria d'Arte Moderna

    This fine baroque mansion is considered one of the most important on the Grand Canal, started by Longhena and completed in 1710 by Gaspari. Since 1902 it has housed the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, a broad collection that includes pieces by De Chirico, Miró, Chagall, Kandinsky, Klee, Klimt, Moore and others.
