Tadao Ando did some amazing work on this building. I look forward to seeing it.
The art seems to be pretty amazing as well.

There is no attempt to disguise the new partition walls, stairs, walkways and service facilities within the old body of the structure. Instead, there is a continual play of juxtaposition – almost as if Ando’s intention were to insert within the ancient building new volumes and levels that seem to mark out the stratifications added over time, organizing them into a veritable spectacle of the structure’s own history.

From 6 June 2009, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana present the exhibition Mapping the Studio which brings together a selection of works from the collection of François Pinault and rebuilt the course of each, from conception to the inner world of the artist, up to the integration with the private collection.
