Reasons to Recommend: 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.
