Thirty years after it was built, a re-examination of the famous design by Aldo Rossi for the Teatro del Mondo, a floating building anchored at the Punta della Dogana, and realised in 1979 for the Theatre Sector (then directed by Maurizio Scaparro) and Architecture Sector (directed by Paolo Portoghesi) for the Venezia e lo spazio scenico exhibition. Used in 1980 by the Theatre Sector for the first edition of the Venice Carnival, the Teatro del Mondo was transported by sea in the summer of 1980 to the Dubrovnik Theatre Festival.

Forms of the Modern is both a reinterpretation and re-installation in which works and spaces establish an organic relationship.
The vast space of the Entrance hall on the ground floor is dedicated to the sculptural portrayal of the human form, with six large works that exemplify the double polarity, female and male, in different periods and languages.
The exhibition continues on the second floor. Here the sculptures are arranged according to the guiding principle of formal study which, starting from linearity, gradually leads to a prevalence of the material.

On show precious nineteenth-century Murano glassware from the unpublished de Boos-Smith collection.
The pieces come mainly from the English market of the period, bought by Fiorella and Phillip de Boos-Smith, Londoners of Australian background, and making up a collection that is emblematic of the typically nineteenth-century English taste for colour, creativity and technical expertise, at times taken to the verge of kitsch.
