Located just off the Grand Canal on Blakely Plaza, is the New Venice Museum Of Modern Art (NV-MOMA) A hideous monstrotrocity that everyone hates. It incorporates all of the worst features of modern art. It looks like it was designed by a lunatic, because it was. Some visitors even complain of nightmares.
