Venice: What to See & Do: Museums & Galleries: Collezione Peggy Guggenheim

Collezione Peggy Guggenheim

Peggy Guggenheim’s incredible collection, which includes major works by Picasso, Pollock, Kandinsky and Ernst, is on view at her former home: the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni. The wealthy American eccentric, who reportedly loved to sunbathe nude on her terrace and was the last person in Venice to have a private gondola, is buried here alongside her fourteen dogs. Closed Tuesday.
