🎨🖼️ A Jewel of 20th-Century Art in Venice’s Heart ✨

#hellohalloween

Located on the Grand Canal in Venice’s Dorsoduro district at Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection stands out as one of Italy’s most important museums of European and American art from the first half of the 20th century.  The palazzo itself — begun in the 18th century but never completed — gives the museum a distinctive low-silhouette façade right on the water. 

Inside, you’ll explore the personal collection of the American heiress and art visionary Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979), alongside important works from the Hannelore B. & Rudolph B. Schulhof Collection.  The displays include masterpieces and key pieces from movements such as Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism — featuring artists like Picasso, Pollock, Kandinsky and Magritte.  Outside, the sculpture garden adds a contemplative outer space complementing the galleries within. 

Whether you’re a lover of modern art, architecture or Venetian culture, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers a striking and compact museum experience. It’s perfectly placed for a stop in Venice’s cultural circuit and gives a fresh counterpoint to older-style art museums.
