Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Peggy Guggenheim lived in this unfinished one-story palazzo on the Grand Canal from 1949 until her death in 1979. Her collection — Pollock, Picasso, Magritte, Ernst (her husband), Brancusi, Calder — is hung in her actual rooms, with her terrace looking onto the canal and Marini's bronze horseman pointing across the water. The most personal museum in the city. Open Wednesday to Monday; closed Tuesdays. Sculpture garden in back where Peggy and her fourteen dogs are buried.
