Peggy Guggenhein museum in Venice

I found my favorite museum!

It is a simple must see. Wether you are an expert or totally clueless about art this museum will exceed your expectations.
A modern art museum in a Venician building, by the Gran Canal already sounds fantastic but this is just the facade, the best is yet to come. As you walk through the second gates you enter a hiden garden. Within closed walls the place has something mysterious straight from  Frances Hodgson Burnett's book: The Secret Garden. The trees and bushed provide a welcome cool in the Venitian heat allowing you to wonder about in the shade, admire Giaccometti's sculptures and discover Peggy's last legacy. Being a extravagant lady, she decided to be buried amongts her favourite art but also in the company of all her cherrished pets which names you can read on the tomb!

The garden

Entering the museum you will immediately be transported to another world, a world of colours, beauty, harmony. You might stubble upon school children getting their art lesson in the best place, sat in a circle around one of K largest mobile pieces. How lucky they are to have such quality art to study, what a source of inspiration.

Personal best: the Pollocks

The Pollock room

It was a great feeling to walk around a museum where there was enough to see, not being bored one second and feeling knowledgeable, being able to recognise many artists. It goes to show the quality and variety of the art displayed  Picasso (The Poet, On the Beach), Braque (The Clarinet) Dalí (Birth of Liquid Desires), Pollock (The Moon Woman, Alchemy)

I was lucky to see major works of Cubism, Futurism, Metaphysical painting, European abstraction, avant-garde sculpture, Surrealism, and American Abstract Expressionism, by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. But without intelectualising too much the Guggenheim museum is a terrific place to discover and enjoy more seen art at its best
