The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of Europe’s most important museums for 20th-century modern art. It was Peggy Guggenheim’s former home and houses her remarkable personal collection of Cubist, Surrealist, and Abstract Expressionist masterpieces by artists such as Picasso, Dalí, Pollock, and Miró. It reflects her passion and artistic vision, as well as the way she opened her home to the public to share it.

To avoid the biggest crowds, we recommend visiting early in the morning, just after opening, or later in the afternoon. As for the time of year, the low season, outside summer and major events such as the Biennale, is usually quieter. Wednesdays and Thursdays also tend to be less crowded than weekends.
