Two years after the tragic Acqua Alta accident that damaged the building, the Mariano Fortuny House Museum is returned to Venice. The Venetian Gothic palazzo was the home and workshop of Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo and his wife Henriette Negrin, a point of reference for Europe’s intellectual élite in the early 20th century. The spaces inside Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei have been reorganised and equipped to become a permanent collection and venue for temporary exhibitions related to contemporary art.
