Peggy Guggenheim is buried in the museum’s sculpture garden, alongside her beloved dogs, with the epitaph 'Here lie my beloved babies.'
The collection includes Jackson Pollock’s 'Number 13A,' one of the artist’s iconic drip paintings, and works by over 200 artists.
The museum’s garden features Marino Marini’s striking bronze 'Horse and Rider' sculpture, a favorite photo spot for visitors.
