Amazing collection including rare picasso! Max Ernst, amazing that ancient Venice has such a modern art treasure

This place has an awesome collection, and I loved that they kept some of Peggy's original furniture with photos to show what her house looked like when she lived there. The only issue is you are literally PACKED in there like sardines with other people. But I guess that's the way it is most places in Italy.

This wonderful collection of Art collected by Peggy Guggenheim is a 'must' and never fails to disappointment - even after four visits!!! Her wide collection of modern art is beautifully displayed in her home, the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal. For a real treat take a gondola ride from the Rialto bridge, getting off at Peggy's place!!

We saved this for our last day as it was a short walk across the bridge from where we were staying. It was very rainy so it was rather busy with people seeking refuge from the rain but we managed to see all of the collection which was really interesting and there are some lovely pieces.

There are so many reasons why the Peggy Guggenheim collections should be on your "must see" list in Venice. The location and grounds are gorgeous and the art is spectacular.

Actually I enjoyed more of the house and the story of Peggy Guggenheim that I heard when joining in a tour. She really had an interesting life.

A fabulous collection of modern art, and a manageable size for those overwhelmed by other exhausting art tours. The outside sculpture gardens are a relaxing and welcome break,a literal breath of fresh air.

We really enjoyed this small collections of modern art - including pictures by Miro, Picasso, Dali, Klee, Pollock and much more. Visit if you like 20th century art and want a break from renaissance and rococo. The shop is great for jewellery and souvenirs.

The locale and the premises, particularly the gardens, are perfect for displaying examples of some of the best known 20th century artists, both european and american. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which is surprising. You can take photos of anything (no flash).
