The Museo Mariano Fortuny is considered a second location of the Museo d'Arte Pesaro. The Palazzo Pesaro Fortuny displays the works of the artist and designer Mariano Fortuny, as well as other works of modern art. On the first floor, you will find the former living space of Mariano Fortuny. The artist created the interior of his home, sometimes even inventing new techniques to bring his ideas to life. As a painter and a set-designer he was a renowned artist of his time, aiming to find the perfect lighting for both works and performances of art. In the Palazzo Fortuny Museum, today you can find paintings, photographs, and fabrics, all set up according to the vision of perfect lighting of the artist.  

The Panza di Biumo Collection – Exhibition of modern art

The Fortuny Museum is located in Palazzo Pesaro, which is also worth seeing in itself. The exhibition has been expanded to include a private art collection: the donation of Giuseppe and Giovanna Panza di Biumo to the city of Venice includes works by internationally renowned artists such as Julia Mangold, Richard Nonas, Stuart Arends, Lawrence Carroll, Gregory Mahoney, Jonathan Seliger, Phil Sims and David Simpson. These works of modern art are now also on display at Palazzo Fortuny.
