==Museums== ===Venice: Palazzo Grassi=== thumb|Palazzo Grassi. {{see also|Palazzo Grassi}} In 2005, François Pinault bought the Palazzo Grassi from the Fiat Group. This Venetian complex is composed of two distinct buildings, a historical palazzo built along the Grand Canal during the 18th century, and an old theater in ruins, the Teatrino.<ref>Paul Laster, [https://www.thedailybeast.com/venices-contemporary-masterpiece Venice's Contemporary Masterpiece], ''Theailybeast.com'', 4 July 2009</ref> In 2006, Japanese architect and Pritzker Prize laureate Tadao Ando was commissioned with the Palazzo's renovation.

===Venice: Punta della Dogana=== thumb|Punta della Dogana. {{see also|Punta della Dogana}} A year after the Palazzo Grassi opening, the Venice city council organized a competition to convert the 16th century custom house Punta della Dogana into a contemporary art museum.
