I adore this fabulous collection of modern art, that's housed in a grand airy palazzo on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice. Peggy Guggenheim's spirit lives on here, and you can imagine her taking off from her terrace in her one of her floral dresses and signature huge sunglasses for a private gondola ride, that she took religiously every evening at sunset. The collection is awesome: Calder, Picasso, Mondrian--she made a vow when she started collecting to buy only the work of living artists. And I love talking to the docents--young, enthusiastic, smart types who are in Venice on Guggenheim fellowships.

    The gallery is small, but Rene Magritte. There are works by Eve Tangi, Jackson Pollock, and Calder, so you can easily visit it. I look for meaning in that it is the place where Peggy Gugenheim lived.

    This is the best exhibition I have seen in Europe so far, probably because I haven't been to the most famous museums, but I have visited a few smaller exhibitions and it is basically not satisfactory. The exhibits inside are like handing in a composition, the beauty of the writing is not important, enough words, no grammatical mistakes. Only the Guggenheim Museum makes me think that her exhibits are like a housewife, picking furniture for her new home, picky, eventful, and the pursuit of perfection. Buying furniture with her must be hard, she must be annoying, but in the end this home is renovated, you admit from the heart "it's so beautiful."

    Guggenheim Art Museum is also very interesting in a place, the art style of the entire art museum is also quite a lot, a large area of regional characteristics, the art museum can also see a lot of good choices, the number of art works is also very large.

    Peggy Guggenhan Museum of Art, in Venice, Watercity, Peggy created the Museum of Art with a large heritage inherited from his parents, collecting a large number of abstract and surreal works. Picasso's poets on the sea also included them, as well as the Kingdom of Light of Margaret, above which is the contradictory space of night lights under the blue sky and white clouds, with a touch of warmth but loneliness. ?

    It has a very distinctive collection of surrealism, Italian futurism, and works of abstract expressionist School of art. It contains an introduction to the history of development, as well as Peggy's introduction. It's not very big, but it's worth appreciating.

    This is a very modern art gallery. When you have time, you must enjoy the works of art inside. There's a big visual difference from the Renaissance art that we've been used to seeing for days. It's worth spending time here to change your mind!
