The old warehouse on the Canal Grande is a good example of functional architecture in Venice. Restored and adapted to host exhibitions and events of contemporary art and architecture on 360 sqm, it was inaugurated in 2005 with the Pavilion of Hong Kong at the 51st International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.
Adjacent to the building, there is a traghetto pier, where one can take a gondola ferry and get rowed to the other side of the Canal.
