The Ca' Pesaro is an imposing baroque marble palace facing the Grand Canal of Venice. Originally designed by Baldassarre Longhena in mid-17th century, the construction was completed by Gian Antonio Gaspari in 1710. The heavy use of columns contrasts with Longhena's more elegant Ca' Rezzonico Palace. It is today the city of Venice's museum of Modern Art, containing paintings or works by Klimt, Bonnard, Chagall, Kandinsky, Klee, Roualt, Matisse, Moore, Morandi, De Chirico, Boccioni and others.
