An example of the halls, newly designed by Tobia Scarpa.
In 2004, the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia (the Art School) left its historic location and moved to the restored former Ospedale degli Incurabili (Hospital for the Incurable) on the Fondamenta delle Zattere on the southern shore of Dorsoduro.
Thus, the entire complex of Santa Maria della Carità was now at the disposal of the Accademia Museum and had to be fundamentally restored and redesigned for this purpose. The designs were developed by Tobia Scarpa, the son of Carlo Scarpa. After years of work, the new premises were presented to the public in December 2013. The area for the Gallerie dell'Accademia museum doubled from 6,000 to 12,000 square meters and 30 new exhibition rooms were added. In addition, service areas for the public and space for reception and security staff were created on almost 1,200 square meters.
