About Peggy Gugggenheim
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a highlight of any Venice art adventure, offering an up-close look at world-class modern masterpieces in a historic, canal-side setting. As part of Venice’s vibrant museum scene, it stands out for its personal atmosphere, lush gardens, and the fascinating story of Peggy Guggenheim, the famed art collector.
The museum is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, famously known as the 'unfinished palace' because it was never completed beyond its single story.
Part of Peggy's collection is Jackson Pollock painted 'Alchemy', which was painted on his mother’s heavy-duty tablecloth. He used hidden grids, proving his famed drip technique was far more deliberate and mathematically planned than it appears.
The museum’s sculpture garden is not only a tranquil retreat but also Peggy Guggenheim’s final resting place—she is buried there alongside her beloved dogs.
Peggy Guggenheim lived surrounded by art, sleeping beneath a silver bedhead designed by Alexander Calder, and presiding in her garden from a Byzantine throne as the self-styled “Dogaressa of Venice.”
