The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of Europe’s most important museums of modern
art, located on the Grand Canal in Venice. Housed in Peggy Guggenheim’s former home,
Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, the museum features an exceptional collection of 20th-century
masterpieces. Art lovers can admire works by Picasso, Dalí, Kandinsky, Pollock, and
many more. Peggy Guggenheim, an American heiress and passionate art collector,
transformed this elegant palazzo into a celebration of creativity and modernism. The
museum’s tranquil garden and canalside terrace offer a unique cultural escape in the heart
of Venice.
