Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Is Peggy Guggenheim Collection worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Peggy Guggenheim Collection works.

Pollock, Picasso, Ernst and Calder hung in the heiress's own low white palazzo, with a sculpture garden and a sun terrace right on the Grand Canal — a perfectly sized, un-exhausting dose of 20th-century art in a city of Old Masters. The catch: it's compact for the ~€18 ticket, gets surprisingly busy, and won't satisfy anyone hunting deep classical Venice.
