It’s a stunning palace-turned-museum with works by Tintoretto, Tiepolo, Canaletto, and Bellini, plus a library where you can quietly soak in Venice’s atmoshpere. The ground floor, redesigned by Carlo Scarpa, is a masterpiece in itself, his use of water, light, and modern lines creates a magical contrast with the ancient palace.
