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 Guggenheim Gallery, in Water City Venice, Peggy created this gallery with a large collection of abstract and surreal works, Picasso's poets on the sea, and Magritte's Kingdom of Light, Above is the blue sky and white clouds below is the contradictory space of the night lights, a little warm but lonely. ​

    很有特色的地方,里面收藏了超现实主义,意大利未来主义,还有抽象表现主义艺术学派的作品,里面有发展历史介绍,还有佩姬的介绍,不大的地方,但值得来欣赏

    这是一个非常现代的美术馆,有时间一定要去欣赏一下里面的艺术品。与几天来看惯了的文艺复兴时期的艺术作品有着很大的视觉差异。值得花时间在这里换换脑子!
