one of my top 3 modern art museums


located on venice's grand canal, the peggy guggenheim collection is one of europe's premiere museums devoted to modern art. with masterpieces ranging in style from cubism and surrealism to abstract expressionism, the collection has become one of the most respected and visited cultural attractions in venice


 
my favorite piece in the museum (besides the throne in the sculpture garden) is the silver bedhead in peggy's bedroom. she commissioned it from artist and sculptor alexander calder in 1945-46.
