Introduction
If you thought the only Guggenheim museum could be found in New York City, then think again. Venice, Italy has a Guggenheim museum of its own that contains the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Her collection features works from some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, from Pablo Picasso's "On the Beach" to Salvador Dali's "Birth of Liquid Desires" to Marcel Duchamp's "Sad Young Man on a Train" to Alexander Calder's "Arc of Pedals". In addition to the permanent collection, you can see several temporary displays devoted to some of the equally great artists of the 20th century.

An American museum with a Venetian atmosphere. Peggy Guggenheim bought Ca'Venier dei Leoni, an unfinished palazzo on the Grand Canal in 1948. She brought to Venice her outstanding collection of modern art and lived there for 30 years. Today the museum is visited by hundreds of thousands travelers. Closing day on Tuesday. Besides the artworks (Pollock, Picasso, Calder, Miro', Magritte, Ernst, just to mention a few) you'll like the spectacular terrace on the Grand Canal and the scultpure garden.
One of the greatest museums of the world, in realms of the history of moderny it is unique, and it is a really wonderful place
At first I didn't want to "waste" my vacation time in Venice by going to this museum. I figured, why the heck should I pay to see some great American artworks after I flew all this way to Italy? Well, if you are a fan of abstract expressionism (in particular Calder or Jackson Pollock), then this museum is a MUST SEE.Ms. Guggenheim and I share a similar taste in art so I was in heaven at this museum! The Jackson Pollock room brought me to my knees -- thankfully there's a couch in there so you can sit down and contemplate the works.Even if this type of artwork isn't your cup of tea, you will surely love the view from the "front yard" overlooking the Grand Canal. The museum usually hosts a couple of special exhibits that are included with your admission ticket; and don't miss the lovely sculpture garden!
One of my must go to sites when in Venice. Even to the point of not going to the website, other than to check on any variation on times. I want to be surprised etc. on entry.
