Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti

Beautiful Venetian palazzo with external courtyard and fine medieval details. The grand stair with soaring windows on three sides is decorated with intricate stucco and marble works. Enjoyed both the Memphis exhibit on post modern Furniture design movement, and the Gilded Cage by Ai WeiWei: a powerful reflective piece on the perception of societal systems and and structure.

Beautiful building. Sometimes free exhibitions, sometimes ticketed. Interesting shows on when we have been. Nice location on the bridge. The canteen does a very good lunch €15 all you can eat healthy and delicious buffet, highly recommended if you're in the area.

Ongoing exhibitions here organized by the Berengo Foundation. Current exhibit "Memphis" and Ai Wei Wei's "Guilded Cage"
