Palazzo Grassi
Palazzo Grassi, overlooking Venice’s Grand Canal, is one of the city’s most striking neoclassical landmarks. Designed by Giorgio Massari and completed in 1772, it was the last great patrician residence built before the fall of the Venetian Republic. Its elegant white façade contrasts with the Gothic palazzi nearby, symbolizing Venice’s transition into modernity. Today, Palazzo Grassi is owned by French collector François Pinault and serves as a hub for contemporary art. Since its reopening in 2006, redesigned by architect Tadao Ando, the palace has hosted major international exhibitions, showcasing artists from Damien Hirst to Tatiana Trouvé. Inside, frescoed halls and spacious galleries merge historic grandeur with cutting-edge creativity, making it a cultural bridge between past and present. Palazzo Grassi is not only an architectural jewel but also a living stage for Venice’s evolving artistic identity, inviting visitors to experience the dialogue between tradition and innovation.
Venice ItalyPalazzo Grassi is located directly on the Grand Canal in the San Marco district of central Venice, at Campo San Samuele, 3231, 30124 Venezia, Italy. The palace stands between Palazzo Moro Lin and Campo San Samuele, close to the vaporetto stops San Samuele and Sant’Angelo, making it easily reachable by public waterbus. Nearby are major landmarks such as Piazza San Marco and the Rialto area, both within a pleasant walking distance through the historic streets of San Marco. Just behind the palace is the boutique hotel Palazzina Grassi, while across and along the Grand Canal visitors can quickly reach other cultural sites including the contemporary art venue Punta della Dogana and numerous historic palazzi that line the waterway.
