PUNTA DELLA DOGANA

Like the bow of a ship, the Punta della Dogana stands at the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Giudecca, and was for centuries the Customs House of the Serene Republic.
Now, fully restored by Tadao Ando and run by the Pinault Foundation (see Palazzo Grassi, above), it is a permanent gallery of contemporary art; all the works are from the Pinault Collection.
