Hala says
Peggy Guggenheim lived in this unfinished one-storey palazzo on the Grand Canal from 1949 until her death in 1979. Her collection (Pollock, Picasso, Magritte, Ernst, who was her husband, Brancusi, Calder) hangs in her actual rooms, with the terrace onto the canal and Marini's bronze horseman pointing across the water. A museum that is still recognisably someone's house. Open Wednesday to Monday, closed Tuesdays. In the back garden, Peggy and her fourteen dogs are buried.
