Built respectively in the 18th and 17th centuries, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana are two historic buildings in Venice. Purchased by the collector François Pinault in the early 2000s, they were then restored by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Today they host monographic and group exhibitions of contemporary art and represent the lagoon branches of the Pinault Collection.
