Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Peggy Guggenheim Collection features the some of the American heiress' personal collection of modern art, which she began displaying in the 1950s. Guggenheim was married to artist Max Ernst and served as a patron to a few of his contemporaries. The gallery includes works by Picasso, Dali, Pollock, Duchamp, Kandinsky, Tanguy, Mondrian, and others. The property also has a sculpture garden. This impressive collection is housed in an 18th-century palace that served as Guggenheim's private home for nearly 30 years. The museum, on the Grand Canal, attracts nearly half a million art lovers each year. Save time by booking your tickets online well in advance.

I usually love modern art galleries and this one was peculiar. Very small space and the works seemed slightly unorganised. Staff was pleasant and the public restrooms were clean.

Good blend of early to mid century "modern art". The visit will not take you more than 45 minutes, maybe maybe, a tad longer. My highlight is Calder's jewelry. Just always has been amazing to me. Just a couple of his pieces along with several other things of his. Pollack is well represented and there are some other nice pieces. In a city full of classical art it is a change.

Must see when in Venice. Book your tickets in advance through the Website and come on time. Earlier and they'll send you for a walk around the block. Impressive collection with all the big names in a sober presentation. Audio guide available. Take the time to queue for a visit to the terrace, the view is worth it!
