Host an event

The spaces of the Pinault Collection in Venice, distributed over Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana and the Teatrino, can host both private and corporate events: gala dinners, cocktail evenings, exclusive guided tours, conventions, conferences, concerts, screenings and countless other shared experiences, all organised specifically to suit your needs.

Organize a private event 

Two iconic Venice locations, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, have been renovated according to the sober, contemporary vision of Tadao Ando, respecting the history of the buildings whilst allowing them to play host to a wide variety of different events. The Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi is a space that has been designed from the ground up by the Japanese architect using pure, minimalistic lines, making it the ideal space to hold conferences and conventions.

After hours museum tours

Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana enable visitors to organise personalised guided tours after the closing time of the museums or on their weekly closing day and to imagine custom-made events.

Custom-made tours

For a special visit to the museum, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana can offer the possibility of personalising a guided tour with additional services.


Palazzo Grassi

Originally built in the 1700s and restored in 2006 by Tadao Ando, Palazzo Grassi offers spaces ideal for tailor-made events of all shapes and sizes.

Located on the first floor of the museum, the Mezzanine Bistrot offers a spectacular view over the Grand Canal. The meticulous design makes it an intimate yet functional location that is perfectly suited to hosting events of all kinds.

Punta della Dogana

The 17th-century Punta della Dogana was restored by Tadao Ando in 2009. The central Cube, exhibition rooms, terraces of the Belvedere, Dogana Café and Dogana Shop are all available to host many different types of events and receptions.

Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi

Renovated from the ground up by Tadao Ando in 2013, the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi is split into an auditorium, fully equipped with all the latest audiovisual technology, and an extraordinarily striking foyer. Ideal for hosting meetings and conferences, it boasts over 200m2 of floor space and offers facilities such as an 8m x 4m screen, a collapsible stage, a cinema projector for DCP, 3D and 2D film as well as a digital external input, two simultaneous interpretation booths, and fully-dimmable lighting, with the option of a DMX RGB system.
