The collection is one of the most illustrious in Modern Art in Italy, spanning the artistic movements of Cubism, European Abstraction and Surrealism with remarkable works by Brancusi, Marino Marini, Kandinsky, Picasso, Magritte, Rothko, Max Ernst, Dali and Jackson Pollock. It opens daily, except on Tuesdays.
Basilica dei Frari
This great Gothic Franciscan church was constructed in the 14th century. It is the burial place of the Venetian sculptor, Antonio Canova, and of Titian. The interior of the church is adorned with the works of Donatello, Bellini, and Titian, among the others.
School of St Roch (Scuola di San Rocco)
The School of St Roch was a religious fraternity who commissioned Tintoretto to decorate its interior in 1564, a task which he completed in 23 years. The paintings are arranged in chronological order. Notable are the scenes from the Life of the Virgin and the Crucifixion.
Gallerie dell’Accademia
From Titian to Tintoretto, from Giorgione to Veronese and Bellini, the Academy has representative works from its Venetian sons in one of Europe’s finest collections of paintings spanning the 13th to 18th centuries.
