Venice and Peggy Guggenheim's Collection

The front door opens to the Grand Canal of Venice. The buildings house all varieties of art, including sculptures, glass, scores of paintings, and the famous Jackson Pollocks. The gardens on the grounds are a joy to spend some time in. Watch everyone take a turn sitting in the stone throne while sipping a cappuccino. I'm not much of a fan of Vorticists, but there is a Vorticism exhibition through mid-May. This is the type of exhibition in which the Guggenheim excels: quirky, charming, a bit obscure, but unforgettable. Link: Guggenheim Collection Venice.
