Museum of Oriental Art
The Museum of Oriental Art, housed within the grand Ca’ Pesaro palace on the Grand Canal, offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic traditions of Asia. Established from the collection of Prince Enrico di Borbone, the museum preserves rare artifacts gathered during his travels in the late 19th century. Visitors encounter exquisite Japanese samurai armor, delicate swords, lacquered objects, and prints by masters such as Hokusai, alongside Chinese ceramics and Islamic art. The collection reflects the cultural exchange between Venice and the East, a dialogue that has shaped the city’s identity for centuries. Set against the backdrop of Ca’ Pesaro’s baroque architecture, the museum provides a striking contrast between Venetian grandeur and Oriental refinement. Today, it stands as a unique destination where East meets West, inviting travelers to explore the beauty and craftsmanship of distant worlds within the heart of Venice.
