About This Tour

Head to the front of the line at Peggy Guggenheim's former home and museum, marveling at modern art masterpieces while learning how her legacy shaped Venice. A private tour of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection with skip-the-line tickets, exploring the modern art collection of Peggy Guggenheim's former home and learning how her legacy shaped Venice.

In 1949 the American collector Peggy Guggenheim bought the 18th-century Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal and made it her home for the next three decades. She'd already spent years gathering modern art in Paris and New York, and from 1951 she began opening her palazzo seasonally so Venice — and the wider public — could see what she'd collected: real work by Picasso, Dalí, and a circle of Surrealist and Abstract painters she personally championed long before most museums took them seriously.

Guggenheim also gave Europe its first look at several American painters now considered giants — Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, and Mark Rothko all exhibited here before they were widely shown on this side of the Atlantic. In 1969 she decided the collection should outlive her, bequeathing the palazzo and its contents to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. After her death in 1979, the museum reopened year-round in 1980 — on one condition she insisted on: the collection stays together inside her former home, with nothing added or removed.
