Around Tignale . ART CITIES: VENICE

The Museum of Oriental Art is situated in Ca' Pesaro in the district (sestiere) of Santa Croce, near Campo San Stae.
It has a notable collection of works of oriental art (about 30,000), originally consisting of works collected by Enrico di Borbone, conte di Bardi, during his travels in the Far East between 1887 and 1889. The collection, after various misadventures, was donated to the Italian state.
