With a prime berth on the Grand Canal and one of the world’s greatest collections of Modern Art, this is the perfect place to escape from all those Madonna and Child altarpieces. The Collection, amassed by and hung in the former home of an American heiress, takes you from Cubism to Pollock via the Surrealists and early Abstractionists. The shady tree-filled Sculpture Garden is an oasis of green with works from the famous Nasher Collection in Dallas, and the team of international art students who run the place will give you all the help you need.
