Peggy Guggenheim Collection

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection displays masterpieces of cubism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, and futurism inside the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni along the Grand Canal.

In 1948, Peggy Guggenheim purchased Palazzo Venier dei Leoni and established her residence there, opening the collection to the public in 1951.

The museum houses works by influential artists including Picasso, Dalí, Pollock, Kandinsky, and Mondrian, representing major movements of twentieth-century modern art.

The museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 to 18:00, with reduced prices available during the winter months from November to February.

The Nasher Sculpture Garden contains the ashes of Peggy Guggenheim alongside her dogs, surrounded by sculptures from renowned contemporary artists.
