Punta della Dogana, Art museum at Canal Grande junction, Venice, Italy

Located where the Grand Canal meets Giudecca Canal, Punta della Dogana displays contemporary art exhibitions in a triangular waterfront structure with large windows.

The building served as Venice's customs house from 1682 until 2009, when architect Tadao Ando transformed it into an exhibition space for the François Pinault Foundation.

The museum brings international contemporary artists to Venice through rotating exhibitions that connect modern expression with traditional Venetian architecture.

Visitors can access Punta della Dogana Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with tickets available online or at the entrance.

The museum's position at the tip of Dorsoduro provides simultaneous views of Saint Mark's Square, Giudecca Island, and the Grand Canal's entrance.
