Peggy Guggenheim, a prolific mid-20th-century art collector guided by the motto ‘Buy a picture a day,’ made her home in an 18th-century palazzo along Venice’s Grand Canal. Her former residence now houses the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a museum that showcases the extensive array of modern artworks she gathered throughout her life. The palazzo’s garden also holds her ashes, adding a personal touch to the space. Today, visitors can explore one of the world’s most acclaimed modern art museums, experiencing the vibrant and diverse collection that reflects Guggenheim’s passion for contemporary art.
