iCa' Pesaro is a monumental Baroque palace on the Grand Canal, designed by Baldassarre Longhena for the Pesaro family from 1659 and completed by Gian Antonio Gaspari in 1710. Since 1902, following the bequest of Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua La Masa, it has housed the City of Venice's International Gallery of Modern Art, built largely on purchases from the early Venice Biennales. The collection spans 19th- and 20th-century painting and sculpture, from Rodin's The Thinker and Klimt's Judith II to Chagall, Kandinsky and Morandi, plus major donations of post-war and American contemporary art. The top floor holds the separate Museum of Oriental Art.

First major Venice show of British painter Jenny Saville: 30+ paintings and drawings from the 1990s to today, ending with new works made in homage to the city.

Peruvian artist Nicolás Lamas assembles found objects and fragments into sculptures and installations probing how systems of classification shape what we see.
34 drawings, watercolours and prints by Egon Schiele, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Otto Dix and other modern masters.
105 post-war international works, from Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly to Marina Abramović and Mario Merz.
83 works of American contemporary art from the Panza collection, expanded in 2026, including David Simpson, Lawrence Carroll, Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner.

The historic core, built from Venice's Biennale purchases: Rodin's The Thinker, Klimt's Judith II (on loan to Mestre from 21 Sep 2026), Chagall, Morandi and more.
