Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice

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!

After immersing yourself in Renaissance and Baroque art, dip into Peggy's place. You will have greater appreciation for these modern artists after immediate immersion in their historical roots. Contemporary art grew out of the "masters" work. It's a fantastic collection. Crowded, but don't feel hurried. Enjoy, then throw your head back on the terrace overlooking the canal. But keep your clothes on.

As a modern art lover this was always going to be a highlight of the trip and it didn’t disappoint. The building and the art collection is small but wonderful. Well worth a visit and buy tickets in advance online.

Refreshing experience in a lovely environment. Beautiful garden, nice rooms and friendly staff. The works of art are really well assorted and grouped. It is fully acceptable for "amateur audience". 😉😊
