Peggy Guggenheim Museum
recommended by
The Weekender
The Guggenheim Museums now straddle the world outwards from New York’s Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece via Germany and Bilbao to – coming soon – Abu Dhabi (the biggest). In the midst of all this art globalization Venice has quietly kept the charming Peggy Guggenheim Foundation to itself. It has its own stop on the Grand Canal, has one singularly rude sculpture at the entrance, and pays homage to its eponymous founder Peggy, whose house this was, the late wife of Max Ernst and enfant terrible way before Damian Hirst. Venice can be prone to cultural overload and hyperventilation caused by visiting too many churches. The Peggy Guggenheim is a peaceful and cultural antidote to it all. A highly personal collection of modern 20th century art.
