Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Why go

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a museum of twentieth-century European and North American art in Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Peggy Guggenheim's former home on the Grand Canal in Venice. The museum says it presents her personal collection, works from the Hannelore B. and Rudolph B. Schulhof collection, a sculpture garden and temporary exhibitions, and that it is part of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum's page on the building describes Palazzo Venier dei Leoni as an unfinished eighteenth-century palace of which only the first of five planned storeys was built. The museum's home page says tickets can be bought online or at the museum's ticket office.
