The Prada Foundation, the brand's charitable art branch, has helped restore the Venetianpalazzo Ca' Corner Della Regina for use as an exhibition space.
It's an arrangement that recalls Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum with its new entrance pavilion by Renzo Piano, which now houses all the necessary but distracting museum functions such as ticketing and coat check to ensure that once inside the Venetianpalazzo you are able to focus exclusively on art and taste.
Some 4, 000 people gathered on Sunday evening at the Venetian Hotel's Palazzo Ballroom in Las Vegas to hear Microsoft Chairman BillGatesBill Gates give his final speech to the high-tech world's mega-conference.
