Site Features

The collection

The galleries hold major works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Wassily Kandinsky, Max Ernst, Constantin Brâncuși, and Jackson Pollock, among others, spanning Cubism, Surrealism, and early Abstract Expressionism.

The sculpture garden

An outdoor garden along the Grand Canal displays sculpture in the open air, including Marino Marini's "The Angel of the City" -- a bronze horse and rider whose detachable phallus, removable for occasions like church processions passing on the water, has made it one of the collection's most talked-about pieces.
