Peggy Guggenheim was an art aficionado who built museums around the world to display pieces of art from her own private collection, as well as others. One of her top museums, and where she has her ashes resting, is in Venice in the Dorsoduro sestiere in an 18th century palazzo right on the Grand Canal.
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection contains works of all types from the 20th century. It has students from America brought in to help curate the museum as part of their education. As long as you're an art lover, this is a museum that will interest you. The size of its collection is modest, so it doesn't feel overwhelming on your trip.
