Punta della Dogana — contemporary art in the old customs house

François Pinault's contemporary collection inside the triangular 17th-century customs house at the very tip of Dorsoduro, where the Grand Canal meets the Giudecca canal. Tadao Ando renovated the interior in 2009 — pristine concrete, original brick, very little signage. The exhibitions rotate; the building is the constant. The view from the steps at the tip is one of the great views in the world: San Marco to the left, Salute behind you, Giudecca opposite. Combined ticket with Palazzo Grassi.
