Peggy Guggenheim Collection

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a safe place to find modern art in Venice 

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection adds a modern touch to Venice’s art scene. It’s located on the Grand Canal, set apart from the city’s Gothic and Baroque buildings. The museum is housed in Peggy’s former home, the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, and lets you get up close and personal with some of the most important artists of the 20th century. 

Inside, you’ll find works by Picasso, Dalí, Pollock, Kandinsky, Mondrian, and others—pieces that were once part of Guggenheim’s personal collection. The sculpture garden is peaceful and charming, and the terrace overlooking the canal feels like pure magic. 

The museum’s small scale doesn’t overwhelm you; instead, it invites you to slow down and really take it in. It’s one of the best places in Venice for art lovers seeking something more intimate, emotional, and human. 

Art lovers will enjoy the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a tribute to the woman who helped shape the modern art world.
