The Fondazione Querini Stampalia combines a historic Venetian house museum with cutting-edge architecture by Carlo Scarpa. The ground floor and garden, redesigned by Scarpa in the 1960s, are considered masterpieces of modern architecture.
Count Giovanni Querini Stampalia bequeathed his palazzo and collection to Venice in 1868, stipulating the library must stay open evenings — unusual for the time. Carlo Scarpa renovated the ground floor in 1961–1963.
